  1. What is the purpose of the EPA Registration Number found on a pesticide label?

    Answer: It confirms the product is registered with the EPA and approved for sale in the US

    The EPA Registration Number uniquely identifies an EPA-approved pesticide product and confirms its legal registration for sale.

  2. A pesticide label reads 'Do not apply within 100 feet of water.' Which label section typically contains this restriction?

    Answer: Environmental hazards

    Buffer zone restrictions near water bodies are found in the Environmental Hazards section of the label.

  3. When a pesticide label lists 'chemically resistant gloves' as required PPE, what does this mean?

    Answer: Gloves must be made of a material impermeable to the specific pesticide formulation

    Chemically resistant gloves must be made of materials (e.g., nitrile, neoprene, or butyl rubber) that resist permeation by the specific pesticide being handled.

  4. What does 'REI: 24 hours' mean on a pesticide label?

    Answer: Workers must not enter treated areas for 24 hours without appropriate PPE

    The Restricted Entry Interval (REI) is the time workers must stay out of treated areas or wear required PPE after a pesticide application.

  5. Which of the following is NOT typically found on a pesticide product label?

    Answer: The applicator's personal liability insurance information

    The applicator's personal liability insurance is not a label requirement; labels include product information, precautions, directions, and regulatory data.

  6. A label says 'Not for use on golf courses or sod farms.' This type of restriction is an example of which label element?

    Answer: Use site restriction

    Use site restrictions explicitly exclude certain locations from legally permitted applications of that product.

  7. If a pesticide label says 'apply in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre,' what would be the consequence of applying in only 10 gallons per acre?

    Answer: It would violate the label and potentially cause phytotoxicity or poor pest control

    Applying below the minimum carrier volume stated on the label is a label violation and can result in poor coverage, phytotoxicity, or crop damage.
