Predator 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 gives you the exact per-acre rate for your crop from 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 AZ, CA, DE, ID, MD, MI, MN, MT, ND, NV, OR, UT, VA, and WA.
Get the interval for your rotation: build a program and FieldMarshal gives you the exact plant-back for your rotational crop from the label line.
Predator FAQ
What weeds does Predator control?
The Predator label names 129 weeds, including alligatorweed, spurred anoda, jerusalem artichoke, common barnyardgrass, catchweed bedstraw, and wild beet. Control varies by crop, rate, and timing.
What crops is Predator labeled for?
Predator is labeled for 10 crops and uses, including field corn, soybeans, peanut, alfalfa, and clover.
What is the active ingredient in Predator? Is it a generic?
Predator's active ingredient is imazethapyr (MOA Group 2). Other products list the same active ingredient; rates, formulations, and labeled crops differ — verify each on its own label.
What's the plant-back interval after Predator?
It depends on your rotational crop, application rate, and region, so the label gives a table, not one number. Build a program and FieldMarshal gives you the exact interval for your rotation from the label line, so you can verify it.
Build a program →Can I tank-mix Predator?
It depends on your target weeds, crop stage, and which partners the label approves. Build a program and FieldMarshal checks the label for approved partners and gives the condition on each, so you can verify it.
Build a program →Plan in minutes, not hours.
Start with Predator and let FieldMarshal build a defensible herbicide program for your field, every product, rate, and plant-back cross-referenced and checked against the label.
Free account and label filter. Building a program is paid, metered by use, so you pay only for what you build.
