Crop Protection

 

Chemical Group

Group 5 herbicide.

Velpar® is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed through the roots and may demonstrate contact activity on foliage. Best results are obtained when Velpar® is present in the root zone during active growth of target weeds. The persistence of Velpar® in the soil is influenced by temperature, rainfall, soil type and organic matter. Do not use on gravelly or rocky soil that are sandy or coarse textured.

Packaging

One (1) bag contains 2 Kg of product.

Application Timing

Christmas tree plantations and forestry: Can be applied pre-emergent and post-emergent to control undesirable vegetation.  Application to target vegetation before leaves are fully expanded is more effective than later treatments. Make a post-emergent application in Christmas trees prior to flushing (bud-break).

Highbush blueberries (Bluecrop variety, British Columbia only): Apply pre-bloom and spray before weeds are 30 cm (11.8 in) tall.

Lowbush blueberries: Apply in the spring after pruning (burning or mowing), but before the blueberries emerge. Post-emergent applications1 can be made in the spring of the fruiting year, no later than the early bloom stage of growth.
¹ Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick only.

Crop Rotation

Do not seed any field that has been treated with Velpar® until a successful field bioassay shows that the crop in question may be grown safely.

Refer to the Velpar® label for further details.
