Oklahoma Applicators License Core Practice Exam

Where would you find the classification of a pesticide as "Restricted Use"?

1. On the back of the label

2. On the front panel of the pesticide label

3. In the product's safety data sheet

4. On advertisements for the product

The correct answer is: On the front panel of the pesticide label

The classification of a pesticide as "Restricted Use" is prominently indicated on the front panel of the pesticide label. This information is critical because it informs users about the level of risk associated with the product and the specific restrictions related to its application, ensuring that only certified applicators can use these more hazardous substances. The front panel serves as the initial point of information for users, allowing them to quickly identify any special handling, usage, and purchasing requirements. While the back of the label and the product's safety data sheet do contain important information regarding safety and usage details, the front panel specifically highlights whether a pesticide falls into the "Restricted Use" category. Advertisements may promote the product but do not serve as official documentation of its classification; therefore, they would not reliably provide this critical regulatory information.
