Opti-Amine 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.

Plant-back and rotation
Your interval depends on your application rate, the rotational crop, and your state, region, and rainfall — some intervals differ in AZ, CA, CO, ID, KS, MN, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, and WY.
Get the interval for your rotation: build a program and FieldMarshal cites the exact plant-back for your rotational crop to the label line.
