What must the manufacturer list on pesticide labels?

The decision to select that the manufacturer must list all actual ingredients and their percentages on pesticide labels is rooted in the need for transparency and safety in the use of chemical products. By detailing all ingredients, including their percentages, the label provides users with critical information about the formulation and its potential effectiveness or dangers. This is essential for ensuring that consumers can make informed choices about the products they use.

Understanding ingredient proportions is vital not only for safety but also for the efficacy of the pesticide; users want to ensure that they apply the correct amounts for effective pest control. This comprehensive labeling protects non-target species, the environment, and human health by allowing users to understand the potential risks associated with the product.

Other options, such as listing only hazardous ingredients or including a manufacturing date, do not fulfill the broader requirement for comprehensive information that empowers consumers and professionals alike to handle products safely and effectively. While precautions are important, they do not replace the necessity for complete ingredient disclosure.
