Which information can you read on a pesticide label?

• A. Identifying information, restricted-use statement, trade name, type of pesticide, formulation, ingredient statement, Net contents, name and address, EPA registration and establishment numbers, safety information, Environmental information, use information
• B. Only the trade name
• C. Only the EPA registration number
• D. Only the safety information

Answer: (B)

Reading a pesticide label gives you a complete set of information you need to use the product legally and safely. The label provides identifying information about the product and the company, the restricted-use status if applicable, the trade name, the type of pesticide and its formulation, the ingredient statement, the net contents, and the name and address of the registrant, along with the EPA registration and establishment numbers. It also includes safety information such as hazard statements and first aid, environmental information, and detailed use information like directions for use, application rate, target pests, crop and site restrictions, and timing. Because the label is designed to convey all these details in one place, the option that lists the broad range of information you can read on the label best reflects reality. Reading only a single piece—like only the trade name or only safety information—would miss important requirements and precautions essential for proper, legal use.
