ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS  
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY  
DIRECTIONS FOR USE  
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner  
inconsistent with its labeling.  
VELPAR L is absorbed through the roots and foliage.  
Moisture is required to activate VELPAR L in the soil. Best  
results are obtained when the soil is moist at the time of  
application and 1/4–1/2" of rainfall occurs within 2 weeks  
after application.  
VELPAR L should be used only in accordance with recommen-  
dations on this label, or in supplemental DuPont publications.  
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or  
other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected  
handlers may be in the area during application. For any  
requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency  
responsible for pesticide regulation.  
Apply VELPAR L preemergence or postemergence when weeds  
are less than 2" in height or diameter. Foliar activity is most  
effective under conditions of high temperature (above 80 °F),  
high humidity, and good soil moisture. Foliar activity may be  
reduced when vegetation is dormant, semi-dormant, or under  
stress.  
The correct use rates by crop and geographical area,  
specified on this label, and proper mixing/loading site  
considerations and application procedures must be followed  
to minimize potential for hexazinone movement into ground  
water. 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.  
On herbaceous plants, symptoms usually appear within 2 weeks  
after application under warm, humid conditions, while 4–6  
weeks may be required when weather is cool or dry, or when  
plants are under stress. If rainfall after application is inadequate  
to activate VELPAR L in the soil, plants may recover from  
contact effects and continue to grow.  
On woody plants, symptoms usually appear within 3–6 weeks  
after sufficient rainfall has carried the herbicide into the root  
zone during periods of active growth. Defoliation and refoliation  
may occur, but susceptible plants are killed.  
AGRICULTURAL USES  
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS  
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and  
with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170.  
This Standard contains requirements for the protection of  
agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and  
greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It  
contains requirements for training, decontamination, notifi-  
cation, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific  
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on  
this label about personal protective equipment(PPE) and  
restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only  
apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker  
Protection Standard.  
The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:  
• Use rate  
Weed spectrum and size at application  
• Environmental conditions at and following treatment  
Where a rate range is shown, use the higher levels of the dosage  
range on hard-to-control species, fine-textured soils, or soils  
containing greater than 5% organic matter or carbon. Use the  
lower levels of the dosage range on coarse-textured soils and/or  
on soils low in organic matter. Refer to specific uses for rate  
ranges.  
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT  
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers  
or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only  
protected handlers may be in the area during application.  
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used  
repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species  
in the same field, naturally occurring resistant weed biotypes  
may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate,  
and become dominant in that field. These resistant weed  
biotypes may not be adequately controlled. Cultural practices  
such as tillage, preventing weed escapes from going to seed, and  
using herbicides with different modes of action within and  
between crop seasons can aid in delaying the proliferation and  
possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.  
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during  
the restricted entry interval(REI) of 24 hours.  
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is  
permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that  
involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as  
plants, soil, or water, is :  
Coveralls  
Waterproof gloves  
Shoes plus socks  
Protective eyewear  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
VELPAR L 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.

- alfalfa is healthy and vigorous, not growing under stress  
from insect, disease, winter injury or other types of stress.  
REPLANTING (FOLLOWING ALFALFA)  
• Do not replant treated areas to any crop except corn, root  
crops or sugarcane within two years after treatment, as crop  
injury may result.  
Injury may result to alfalfa plants that fail to meet these  
growth criterion listed above.  
• Do not use VELPAR L on seedling alfalfa, alfalfa-grass  
mixtures, or other mixed stands as injury may result to the  
seedling alfalfa or companion crop.  
• Corn may be planted 12 months after the last treatment,  
provided the use rate did not exceed 3 pt per acre, except in  
areas of low rainfall (20" or less).  
• At elevations above 4,000 ft, do not use VELPAR L on  
alfalfa that has been established with a cover or nurse crop  
until the alfalfa has gone through two summer growing  
seasons.  
• Root crops such as potatoes, sugarbeets, radish and carrots  
may be planted 12 months after last treatment, provided the  
use rate not exceed 2 pt per acre. Sites with use rates  
higher than 2 pt per acre should not be replanted to any  
crop within 2 years of application, or unacceptable crop  
injury may result.  
• Do not use VELPAR L in low desert valleys in California  
or Arizona.  
• Sugarcane may be planted any time following treatment.  
• Do not exceed 3 pt per acre on alfalfa less than one year  
old.  
• In California, do not replant seed alfalfa areas to any crop  
within two years after treatment, as crop injury may result.  
• Do not add a surfactant to VELPAR L when treating  
nondormant alfalfa varieties.  
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - ALFALFA ONLY  
• Do not use VELPAR L on gravelly or rocky soils, exposed  
subsoils, hardpan, sand, poorly drained soil, or alkali soils.  
Best results are obtained when 1/2–1" of rainfall or sprinkler  
irrigation occurs within two weeks after application, when  
soil is moist at time of application, and when weeds have not  
germinated or are less than 2" in height or diameter. Heavy  
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may result in  
crop injury or poor performance of the herbicide.  
• Crop injury, including mortality, may result in fields with  
restricted root growth due to nonuniform soil profiles  
such as gravel bases and clay lenses.  
• Do not graze or feed forage or hay to livestock within 30  
days following application.  
• Do not apply to snow-covered or frozen ground.  
• On soils high in organic matter (greater than 5%), the  
effectiveness of VELPAR L can be significantly reduced  
and weed control may be unsatisfactory.  
SEED ALFALFA (CALIFORNIA ONLY) -  
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS  
• Do not use VELPAR L on fields with sandy loam or  
loamy sand soils having less than 1% organic matter.  
• Since the effect of VELPAR L on alfalfa varies with soil  
conditions, uniformity of application, and environmental  
conditions, growers should limit their first use to small  
areas.  
• Do not exceed 2 pt per acre on fields with sandy loam or  
loamy sand soils having 1–2% organic matter.  
• Do not exceed 2 pt per acre on seed alfalfa that has been  
established for only one growing season.  
• If abnormally dry conditions exist following application,  
restrict the first irrigation to no more than 1/2 acre inch of  
water.  
ALFALFA - IMPREGNATION ON  
DRY BULK FERTILIZER (EXCEPT  
CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA)  
• Temporary yellowing of alfalfa may occur following  
VELPAR L applications.  
• Treat only stands of alfalfa established for one year or for  
one growing season(except in California), provided the  
following conditions are met:  
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with  
VELPAR L for application to established alfalfa. All  
recommendations, cautions and special precautions on this  
label must be followed along with state regulations relating to  
dry bulk fertilizer blending, impregnating and labeling. Keep  
VELPAR L from heat, sparks, and open flame. (Refer to the  
material safety data sheet [MSDS] for VELPAR L.)  
–The alfalfa root system must be well established.  
–The crop must be healthy, vigorous and not under stress  
from adverse weather conditions, insect or disease  
damage.  
–The alfalfa crop must be free of excessive winter injury  
from freezing and thawing.  
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use a suitable  
additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation, as dusty  
fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application.  
The dry fertilizer must be properly impregnated and  
uniformly applied to the alfalfa to avoid crop injury and/or  
poor weed control.  
• In California, fall planted alfalfa may be treated in the  
following winter months with VELPAR L at 1 to 2 pts per  
acre to suppress or control Black Mustard, Common  
groundsel, London rocket, Shepard’s-purse, Common  
chickweed, Fiddleneck or Filaree, provided:  
To impregnate the fertilizer, use a system consisting of a  
conveyor or closed drum used to blend dry bulk fertilizer. Any  
commonly used fertilizer can be impregnated with VELPAR  
L, except potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate. Do not use  
VELPAR L on limestone.  
- alfalfa root growth exceeds 6 inches in length  
- vegetative top growth of alfalfa has lateral development of  
secondary growth

Use a minimum of 250 lb dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to Do not use VELPAR L on Christmas trees in the following  
a maximum of 450 lb per acre. To impregnate or coat the dry  
bulk fertilizer with VELPAR L, direct the nozzles to deliver a  
fine spray towards the fertilizer for thorough coverage while  
avoiding spray contact with mixing equipment. Uniform  
impregnation of VELPAR L to dry bulk fertilizer will vary,  
and if the absorptivity is not adequate, the use of an  
absorptive powder may be required to produce a dry, free-  
flowing mixture. Microcel E (Johns Manville Product  
Corporation) is the recommended absorbent powder. When  
another herbicide is used with VELPAR L, mix and  
impregnate the fertilizer immediately.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - PINEAPPLE  
For preemergence treatments, apply 0.9–1.8 pt of VELPAR L  
per acre.  
• Use the lower rates on coarse-textured soils or in areas  
where rainfall exceeds 65" per year.  
For postemergence treatments, apply 0.9–1.8 pt of VELPAR L  
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 1.8 pt of VELPAR L per acre.  
• Use the higher rates on fine-textured soils or in areas  
where rainfall is less than 65" per year.  
• Do not exceed 1.8 gal VELPAR L per acre per crop.  
• Do not apply VELPAR L within 181 days of harvest.  
For spot treatment of emerged weeds, VELPAR L may be  
applied with a knapsack sprayer in concentrations of  
0.9–1.8 pt per 100 gal of water. Apply a sufficient volume to  
wet the weed foliage. Do not exceed 100 gal of spray per

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - SUGARCANE  
Do not plant any crop other than sugarcane following an  
application of VELPAR L.  
WESTERN US  
Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply  
in late winter or spring when weeds and brush are actively  
growing.  
Do not feed sugarcane forage to livestock.  
Do not apply VELPAR L:  
• Within 180 days of harvest in Hawaii.  
• Within 234 days of harvest in Louisiana.  
• Within 288 days of harvest in Puerto Rico.  
• Within 234 days of harvest in Texas.  
Snowbelt (areas of low spring rainfall): For best results, apply  
in the fall before soil freezes, or in the spring after snow cover  
melts in anticipation of rainfall. Weed and brush control results  
from spring applications will be dependent on sufficient rainfall  
following application to activate VELPAR L.  
To avoid injury to sugarcane, observe the following precautions:  
USE RATES  
• Do not use VELPAR L on cane that shows poor vigor because  
of insect damage, disease, or winter injury, or shows  
symptoms of other stress conditions such as drought stress.  
Use the lower rates on coarse-textured soils and soils low in  
organic matter; use the higher rates on fine-textured soils and on  
soils high in organic matter. Use the higher rates where hard-to-  
kill species predominate.  
• Do not add a surfactant in applications unless otherwise  
specified or allowed.  
The rates listed below are for broadcast application.  
• Do not use VELPAR L on gravelly or rocky soils, thinly

SPRAY EQUIPMENT  
VELPAR L plus TORDON 101 MIXTURE may be applied by  
ground equipment or by air (helicopter only).  
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS  
Hazel  
For ground application, use enough water for thorough  
coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. For aerial  
applications, use at least 5 gal of water per acre. Use at least 5  
gal of water for every 1 gal of VELPAR L. For best results, full  
foliar coverage is required.  
*Partial control; use the higher rates for the soil textures  
indicated above.  
Within several weeks after VELPAR L activation by rainfall,  
affected vegetation may be burned, if desired. This burn may  
further enhance control of vegetation. Burn the vegetation  
only after any residual stand is completely defoliated, at least  
twice, allowing for sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L. In  
the West, results may take one to two years in areas of low  
rainfall.  
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
- VELPAR L + TORDON 101 MIXTURE  
• To avoid injury, do not plant pine before the following  
intervals following application of Tordon 101 Mixture:  
–Southern states - 6 months  
–Lake states - 9 months  
–Northeastern states - 9 months  
SPRAY EQUIPMENT  
• Burning treated sites after initial contact (browning) effect on  
foliage may result in poor control. Burn the vegetation only  
after brush has completely defoliated at least once, allowing  
sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L (usually 60-90 days after  
adequate rainfall).  
VELPAR L may be applied by ground equipment or by air

APPLICATION TIMING  
5.2  
Apply VELPAR L plus GARLON 4 from late spring to early  
summer after the trees have reached full leaf, but before leaf  
tissue hardens.  
SINGLE STEM (BASAL SOIL)  
Apply undiluted VELPAR L to the soil with an exact  
delivery handgun applicator. Apply at the rate of 2–4 ml for  
each inch of stem diameter at breast height. Direct the  
treatment to the soil within 3 ft of the root collar of woody  
plants to be controlled. When treating large stems and when  
more than one delivery of VELPAR L is needed per stem,  
make application on opposite sides of the stem.  
USE RATES  
Refer to the use rate table in the Site Preparation section of  
this label for recommended rates of VELPAR L based on  
soil texture. Mix the recommended rate of VELPAR L with  
4–8 qt of GARLON 4 per acre.  
SPRAY EQUIPMENT  
For multi-stemmed and low-growing brush that have stem  
diameters that are difficult to determine, apply VELPAR L  
at the rate of 2–4 ml per 3" of canopy width. For tall,  
slender (columnar) brush types, apply 4–8 ml per 3" of  
height. Base the rate on whichever canopy dimension is  
greater (width or height).  
Apply VELPAR L plus GARLON 4 by ground equipment  
or by air (helicopter only).  
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS  
For ground application, use enough water for thorough  
coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. For aerial  
applications, use at least 12 gal of water per acre.  
When treating brush that requires more than a single 4 ml  
application of VELPAR L, apply subsequent applications  
equally spaced around the plant. If treating brush on sloped  
sites, apply most of the VELPAR L on the uphill side of the  
stem. If treating resprouts from brush disturbed by cutting  
or shredding, the rate of application should be proportional  
to the original tree size, not just the small regrowth of  
sprouts.  
For best results, full foliar coverage is required.  
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
- VELPAR L + GARLON 4  
• Conifers planted sooner than two months after treatment  
with GARLON 4 at 1–2 gal per acre may be injured.  
• Burning treated sites after initial contact (browning) effect  
on foliage may result in poor control. Burn the vegetation  
only after brush has completely defoliated at least once,  
allowing sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L (usually 60-  
90 days after adequate rainfall).  
INJECTION  
No Worker Protection Standard worker entry  
restrictions or worker notification requirements apply  
when this product is directly injected into agricultural  
plants.  
• Before using GARLON 4, read and carefully observe the  
cautionary statements and all other information appearing

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
- RELEASE UNDILUTED  
• Application of VELPAR L spots closer than 36" to conifer  
seedlings in their first season or directly up slope from these  
seedlings may result in injury or mortality.  
Selection of the rate per acre and grid pattern depends on soil  
texture and woody plant composition. Use the lower rates on  
coarse textured soils and when the major component of the  
hardwoods are susceptible species. Use the high rates on fine-  
textured soils and hard-to-kill species.  
• Use VELPAR L on seedlings in their first or fourth year and  
older. Injury may result from use on two and three year old  
seedlings where root growth is extensive but hardiness is  
lacking.

APPLICATION TIMING  
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS - FORESTRY  
• Do not use VELPAR L in nurseries, seedbeds, or ornamental  
plantings.  
EASTERN US  
Apply VELPAR L as a broadcast or banded spray in the spring  
prior to conifer bud break to lessen conifer injury potential.  
• On tracts of land where various soil types are present and  
VELPAR L rate selection is difficult, conifer damage or less-  
than-expected vegetation suppression may occur due to the  
different rates required for various soil types.  
WESTERN US  
Rainbelt (areas of high spring rainfall): For best results, apply  
as a broadcast or banded spray in the late winter or spring when  
weeds are actively growing, but prior to conifer budbreak.. If  
application is made after conifer bud break, use directional spray  
equipment to prevent contact with conifer foliage, as injury may  
result.  
• Poor weed and brush control may result from the following:  
–Heavy duff or slash present at time of application  
–Use on poorly drained sites  
–Applications made when the soil is saturated with water and  
rain is imminent within 24 hours.  
Snowbelt (areas of low spring rainfall): For best results, apply  
as a broadcast or banded spray in the fall before soil freezes and  
after the final resting bud has hardened on the conifers. Or,  
spring applications may be made after snow cover melts in  
anticipation of rainfall prior to conifer budbreak. Weed control  
results from spring treatments will be dependent on sufficient  
rainfall following application to activate VELPAR L.  
–Applications to soils high in organic matter (greater  
than 5%).  
• Following harvest, allow stumps and injured trees sufficient  
time to adequately resprout before applying VELPAR L.  
• Where burning is desired, burn vegetation only after any  
brush has completely defoliated, at least twice, allowing for  
sufficient root uptake of VELPAR L  
USE RATES  
The rates listed below are for broadcast application. For band  
application, use proportionately less. For example, use 1/2 of the  
broadcast rates when treating a 3-ft band where row spacing is 6  
ft.  
• Do not use VELPAR L on frozen soils; use in spring after  
snow melt.  
• Do not add a surfactant in applications over the top of  
conifers.

BROADCAST  
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS  
Apply 2–4 gal of VELPAR L per acre as a coarse spray using  
ground equipment only. Use enough water for thorough  
coverage, usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre.  
For ground application, use enough water for thorough coverage  
usually a minimum of 25 gal per acre. The use of a surfactant is  
not recommended.  
BASAL (SOIL)  
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
- INDUSTRIAL UNIMPROVED TURF  
• Use VELPAR L only in stands of bermudagrass and  
bahiagrass established for at least one year. Do not treat newly  
sprigged or sodded areas.  
Undiluted - Apply VELPAR L undiluted with an exact-  
delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a thin  
stream of a predetermined volume when triggered. Apply  
VELPAR L at the rate of 2–4 ml for each inch of stem  
diameter at breast height. Do not exceed 4 gal of VELPAR L  
per acre per year. Direct the treatment to the soil within 3 ft of  
the root collar of woody plants to be controlled. When treating  
large stems and when more than one delivery of VELPAR L is  
needed per stem, make applications on opposite sides of the  
stem.  
• Some discoloration of the bermudagrass or bahiagrass may  
occur after application.  
• Injury may result when desirable grasses are under stress from  
drought, insects, disease, cold temperature, or poor fertility.  
• Severe turf injury may occur if applications are made on  
gravelly or rocky soils, thinly covered subsoils, or soils with  
less than 1% organic matter.  
For multi-stemmed and low-growing brush that have stem  
diameters that are difficult to determine, apply VELPAR L at  
the rate of 2–4 ml per 3" of canopy width. For tall, slender  
(columnar) brush types, apply 4–8 ml per 3" of height. Base  
the rate on whichever canopy dimension is greater (width or  
height).  
BRUSH CONTROL  
VELPAR L is recommended for the control of undesirable  
woody plants in noncrop sites.  
APPLICATION TIMING  
Apply VELPAR L from late winter through summer, prebud  
break until new growth hardens off.  
When treating brush that requires more than a single 4 ml  
application of VELPAR L, apply subsequent applications  
equally spaced around the plant. If treating brush on sloped  
sites, apply most of the VELPAR L on the uphill side of the  
stem. If treating resprouts from brush disturbed by cutting or  
shredding, the rate of application should be proportional to the  
original tree size, not just the small regrowth of sprouts.  
In areas where the soil remains frozen during the winter and  
spring rains are usually inadequate for soil activation, a fall  
or winter treatment may be applied before the soil freezes.  
WOODY PLANTS CONTROLLED - USE RATE  
2–4 Gal/Acre  
Diluted - Mix one gal of VELPAR L with 5 or more gal of  
water. Apply 2–4 gal of VELPAR L per acre. Direct the spray  
to the soil in a serpentine pattern so that the swath on the soil  
is 6–12" wide at the base of the brush. Swaths should be 2–4  
ft apart.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT  
AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES  
• Use VELPAR L only in stands of bermudagrass and  
bahiagrass established for at least one year. Do not treat newly  
sprigged or sodded areas.  
Basal (Soil) Undiluted - Apply VELPAR L undiluted with an  
exact-delivery handgun applicator. This equipment delivers a  
thin stream of a predetermined volume when triggered. Apply  
VELPAR L at the rate of 2–4 ml for each inch of stem  
diameter at breast height. Do not exceed 1/3 gal of VELPAR L  
per acre per year. Direct the treatment to the soil within 3” of  
the root collar of woody plants to be controlled. When treating  
large stems and when more than one delivery of VELPAR L is  
needed per stem, make applications on opposite sides of the  
stem.  
• Some temporary discoloration of the bermudagrass or  
bahiagrass may occur after application.  
• Treatment of mixed pastures containing forage species other  
than bermudagrass or bahiagrass may result in injury or  
mortality to the other forage species.  
• Injury may result when desirable grasses are under stress from  
drought, insects, disease, cold temperature, or poor fertility.  
• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if

or near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their  
roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - AIRCRAFT  
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles  
with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.  
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is  
emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce  
larger droplets than other orientations.  
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core  
with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce  
larger droplets than other nozzle types.  
• Poor weed and brush control may result from the following:  
–Use on poorly drained sites  
BOOM LENGTH AND HEIGHT  
–Applications made when the soil is saturated with water and  
rain is imminent within 24 hours  
• Boom Length (aircraft) - The boom length should not  
exceed 3/4 of the wing length, using shorter booms decreases  
drift potential. For helicopters use a boom length and position  
that prevents droplets from entering the rotor vortices.  
–Applications to soils high in organic matter (greater  
than 5%)  
• Following mechanical cutting or clearing, allow stumps and  
injured trees sufficient time to adequately resprout before  
applying VELPAR L.  
• Boom Height (aircraft) - Application more than 10 ft above  
the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.  
• Do not use VELPAR L on frozen soils.  
• Boom Height (ground) Setting the boom at the lowest  
labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage  
reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.  
The boom should remain level with the crop and have  
minimal bounce.  
Weed and brush control results depend on sufficient moisture  
to activate VELPAR L.  
• When VELPAR L is applied as a basal soil treatment, there is  
no restriction on grazing by domestic animals nor on cutting  
surrounding vegetation for forage or hay.  
WIND  
• For broadcast pasture applications of VELPAR L, do not cut  
treated vegetation for forage or hay nor graze domestic  
animals on treated areas for 60 days.  
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph  
(due to variable direction and inversion potential) or more  
than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size  
and equipment type determine drift potential at any given  
wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS  
CONDITIONS.  
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT  
The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors  
determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is  
responsible for considering all these factors when making  
application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility  
of the applicator.  
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every  
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and  
how they effect spray drift.  
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE  
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY  
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large  
droplets (greater than 150–200 microns). The best drift  
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide  
sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive  
species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure  
may affect how an applicator balances drift control and  
coverage. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but  
will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or  
under unfavorable environmental conditions! See the Wind,  
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections  
below.  
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up  
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of  
evaporation.  
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS  
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion.  
Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes  
small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and  
move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are  
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are  
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no  
wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue  
into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground  
fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be  
identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or  
an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves  
laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)  
indicates a surface inversion, while smoke that moves upward  
and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.  
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE  
- GENERAL TECHNIQUES  
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest  
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows  
produce larger droplets.  
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the  
nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not  
improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are  
needed, use a higher-capacity nozzle instead of increasing  
pressure.  
SHIELDED SPRAYERS  
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the  
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray  
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift  
nozzles.  
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the  
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the  
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift, and  
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT  
LIMITATION OF  
Thoroughly clean all traces of VELPAR L from application  
equipment immediately after use. Flush the tank, pump,  
hoses, and boom with several changes of water after  
removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts  
separately).
