The Pesticide Label

Welcome to this CEU on the Pesticide Label. This Applicator Recertification CEU course on pesticide labeling includes information on both the label itself and other relevant information you get from the pesticide manufacturer when you acquire the product. The law requires that all pesticide users comply with the directions and instructions for use; these can be found on the pesticide label. As such, the pesticide product label represents the main communication method between pesticide users and pesticide manufacturers.  Go ahead and get started!
