What information should appear on a pesticide label?

• A. Product name, active ingredients, net contents, EPA registration number, directions for use, precautions, first aid, storage and disposal instructions, and the name and address of the registrant.
• B. Only product name and price.
• C. Only the EPA registration number.
• D. Color of packaging.

Answer: (C)

Pesticide labels must convey all essential information for safe and effective use. The label should include the product name, the active ingredients and their amounts, the net contents, the EPA registration number, directions for use, precautions and hazard statements, first aid instructions, storage and disposal instructions, and the name and address of the registrant. This complete set ensures you know exactly what the product is, what it contains, how to apply it correctly, what risks to watch for, what to do in an emergency, and who to contact for more information. Information like price or color of packaging isn’t part of the required label content, so focusing only on the EPA registration number leaves out critical usage and safety details.
