Application and Use
Consult the label for use restrictions and application instructions
- Apply a single treatment of VELPAR L per year using a fixed-boom sprayer and a minimum of 25 gallons per acre, following instructions in the label for soil types and instructions per state.
- Apply VELPAR L herbicide as a spot spray application for emerged weeds in sugarcane.
- Rainfall is needed to move VELPAR L into the soil and for activation. Avoid applications if heavy rainfall is anticipated, as this can produce runoff of treated soil and possible injury to non-targeted species.
- Do not plant any crop other than sugarcane following a VELPAR L application.
- Do not feed sugarcane forage to livestock.
- Exercise care when applying VELPAR L near desirable trees or shrubs as they can absorb the herbicide through roots extending into treated areas.
