DuPont Authentication Velpar H - 65190 - Manual (Page 13)

WEEDS CONTROLLED
DuPont™ VELPAR® DF is recommended for the control or
suppression of the following species in pineapple crops:
* Suppression – a visible reduction in plant population and/or
plant vigor as compared to an untreated area and generally not
accepted as control.
USE PRECAUTIONS - PINEAPPLE
• Do not exceed 4.8 lb VELPAR® DF per acre per crop.
• Do not apply VELPAR® DF within 181 days of harvest.
VELPAR® DF is recommended for selective weed control
in sugarcane except in the State of Florida.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Apply a single treatment of VELPAR® DF per year using a
fixed-boom sprayer and a minimum of 25 gallons per acre
unless otherwise directed.
HAWAII
Apply VELPAR® DF pre- or postemergence at the
following rates for the indicated soil texture:
DuPont™
VELPAR® DF (Lb/Acre)
(Plus surfactant
Soils 0.25% by volume)
Coarse Texture
Sand, loamy sand, sandy loam
2/3 - 1 2/10
Medium Texture
Loam, silt loam, silty clay loam
2/3 - 2 1/3
Fine Texture
Clay, gray hydromorphic clay
2 1/3 - 4 8/10
Use the higher levels of the recommended dosage ranges on
soils high in organic matter. Do not apply more than twice the
highest recommended rate for the indicated soil texture per crop
(18–24 months).
A surfactant is recommended for all uses.
For preemergence use only, VELPAR® DF may be applied with
aerial equipment using at least 10 gallons of spray per acre.
For spot treatments of emerged weeds, VELPAR® DF may be
applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of
0.6 - 4.8 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Apply a sufficient
volume to thoroughly wet weed foliage, but do not exceed 40
gallons of spray per treated acre. Use the lower concentrations
on coarse-textured soils that are low in organic matter, and use
the higher concentrations on fine-textured soils that are high in
organic matter.
LOUISIANA
Apply 2/3 - 1 2/10 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre broadcast
in the fall before sugarcane emerges or in the spring before
active cane tillering begins. Fall treatments of 2/3 - 1 2/10 pound
per acre may be followed by a spring treatment of 2/3 - 1 2/10
pound per acre. Do not apply more than 2 pound per year. Use
the lower rates on coarse textured soils and the higher rates on
fine textured soils.
PUERTO RICO
For preemergence treatments, apply 1/3 - 2/3 pound of
VELPAR® DF per acre.
For postemergence treatments, apply 1/3 - 2/3 pound of
VELPAR® DF per acre to weeds after they have emerged. Use
the lower rates on coarse-textured soils and the higher rates on
fine-textured soils (high in clay or organic matter). Each ratoon
may receive up to 2/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre.
For spot treatment of emerged weeds, VELPAR® DF may be
applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of 1/3 - 2/3
pound per 100 gallons of water. Apply a sufficient volume to
wet the weed foliage. Do not exceed 100 gallons of spray per
treated acre. Use the lower concentration on coarse-textured
soils and the higher concentration on fine-textured soils.
Note: Since it is difficult to calibrate “spot” knapsack
applications, extra care must be taken not to exceed the rate
equivalent of the maximum of 2/3 pound VELPAR® DF per
acre.
Do not apply more than 1 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre
per crop season.
TEXAS
Apply 2/3 - 2 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre. On plant
cane, apply the herbicide before the cane emerges or as a
directed layby treatment. On stubble cane, apply VELPAR® DF
preemergence (up to the 3-leaf stage) or as a directed layby
treatment. A pre- or early postemergence treatment may be
followed by a layby treatment, provided at least 60 days have
elapsed and 3 inches of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation have
occurred since the first treatment.
Do not apply more than 2 1/3 pound of VELPAR® DF per acre
per season.
