Confidence rates and plant-back
The label answers both with a table, not a single number. Here is what drives each answer.
Application rate
Your rate depends on your crop and your soil texture.
Get the rate for your field: build a program and FieldMarshal cites the exact per-acre rate for your crop to the label line.
Plant-back and rotation
Your interval depends on your application rate, the rotational crop, and your state, region, and rainfall — some intervals differ in IA, IL, MN, ND, NE, SD, and WI.
Get the interval for your rotation: build a program and FieldMarshal cites the exact plant-back for your rotational crop to the label line.
