Users are encouraged to consult with their state Department of Agriculture, Extension Service, or other pesticide lead agency for information regarding soil permeability, aquifer vulnerability, and best management practices for their area.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Velpar L VU Herbicide may be applied by ground equipment and, where permitted, aerial equipment. Use rates, minimum spray gallonage, and other application information are described for the various uses. 

Dispose of the equipment wash water by applying it to a use-site listed on this label or in accordance with directions given in the “Storage and Disposal” section of this label.

Before spraying, calibrate equipment to determine the quantity of water necessary to uniformly and thoroughly cover the vegetation and soil in a measured area to be treated.

TANK MIXTURES

Velpar L VU Herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides and /or adjuvants registered for the uses specified in the label. 

Refer to the label of the tank mix partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions. The most restrictive label provisions apply. If other label instructions conflict with this label do not tank mix the herbicide and/or adjuvant with Velpar L VU Herbicide.

NOTE: When the air temperature is around 32o F, tank mixtures of paraquat dichloride plus Velpar L VU Herbicide may form a hard sludge in the spray tank. This effect is most likely to occur when the tank mixture comes into contact with aluminum.
