If you need the quantity applied per square foot, which term would you consult?

• A. Total gallons of end use product
• B. Rate of application
• C. Customer name, address, and date of application
• D. Pesticide Treatments Evaluation

Answer: (B)

The quantity used per unit area is described by the rate of application. This term specifies how much pesticide is applied for a given area, such as gallons per square foot or per 1,000 square feet. The label provides this rate, and you can calculate the amount per square foot by applying that rate to the area you’re treating (for example, 2 gallons per 1,000 ft² equals 0.002 gallons per ft²). The other terms don’t give per-area usage: total gallons is overall volume, administrative details don’t address application quantity, and a pesticide treatments evaluation is not about how much product is applied.
