Total 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.

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 CA.

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.

Total FAQ

What weeds does Total control?

What crops is Total labeled for?

What is the active ingredient in Total? Is it a generic?

Can I tank-mix Total?

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.
