Restricted-use pesticide applicators must keep records for two years of what?

• A. Weather conditions only
• B. Product used, amount applied, size of area treated, crop/commodity and location, date and name of applicator
• C. Inventory counts by pesticide family
• D. Customer contact information only

Answer: (B)

Keeping records for restricted-use pesticides is about traceability of each spraying event. The required two-year records should capture the product used, the amount applied, the size of the area treated, the crop or commodity and location, the date of application, and the name of the applicator. This combination provides a clear, verifiable history of what was applied, where, when, and by whom, which regulators can review and which helps with future pest management decisions and safety follow-ups. Weather conditions, inventory counts, or customer contact information alone don’t provide the full event history and thus don’t satisfy the requirement.
