Which item is included in the Pesticide Application Record?

• A. Brand name and pesticide type only
• B. Brand name, pesticide type, fertilizer rate, reason for use, concentration, application rate, total gallons applied, location, special instructions, and applicator's license number
• C. Location and date
• D. Weather conditions and date

Answer: (B)

A complete Pesticide Application Record requires a detailed log that captures exactly what was used, where, when, and by whom, along with how it was applied. It should name the product by brand and indicate the pesticide type or active ingredient, and if a fertilizer is involved, note the fertilizer rate. It should state why the product was used (the purpose or target pest), the concentration and the application rate, and the total amount applied. The record also needs the location or site within the property, the specific area treated, and any special instructions (such as required PPE, drift precautions, or label-specific notes). Finally, including the applicator's license number ties the entry to the certified person who performed the work. This level of detail supports regulatory oversight, traceability, and compliance with label directions and safety requirements. The other options miss essential elements like product details, usage metrics, site information, or licensing, making them incomplete.
