Which of the following describes an effective pesticide label?

Contains no information about personal protective equipment
Includes safety and application instructions
Focuses solely on ingredients used
Lists only the use-related hazards

The correct answer is: Includes safety and application instructions

An effective pesticide label is crucial for ensuring the safe and proper use of the product. A label that includes safety and application instructions provides users with essential information on how to apply the pesticide correctly, what precautions to take during application, and how to protect themselves and the environment. This comprehensive guidance helps prevent misuse and enhances the effectiveness of the pesticide while minimizing the risk of harm to users and non-target organisms. Labels that lack information about personal protective equipment would not adequately ensure the safety of the applicator during the handling and application of the pesticide. Focusing solely on the ingredients used does not inform users about the necessary precautions or the proper application techniques. Additionally, listing only the use-related hazards does not provide a complete picture of safe usage practices, which is essential for effective pest management.
