Which item is NOT required to be recorded for a restricted-use pesticide application?

• A. Soil type at application site.
• B. Date/time.
• C. Product name and EPA number.
• D. Rate/amount.

Answer: (A)

Recording restricted-use pesticide applications focuses on identifying the exact product, when and where it was used, and in what amount. You must document the product name and EPA registration number to identify the chemical, the date and time of application, the location or site, and the rate or amount applied. These details ensure traceability, accountability, and the ability to review past treatments for future decisions or regulations.

Soil type at the application site is not part of the required record. While soil characteristics can influence management decisions or label requirements in some cases, the official recordkeeping items center on product identity, quantity, timing, and location.
