Which of the following statements regarding pesticide labels is true?

The statement that pesticide labels contain legal and safety information mandated by the EPA is true because pesticide labels are important legal documents regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These labels are designed to inform users about the proper use, application rates, safety precautions, and any potential hazards associated with the pesticide. They include critical information such as the active ingredients, target pests, application methods, and safety requirements, ensuring that users apply pesticides safely and effectively.

In contrast, pesticide labels cannot be modified by the applicator, as they must remain consistent with the EPA-approved language to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. All pesticides that are to be sold or used must have a label, making it incorrect to state that labels are not required for all products. Lastly, keeping pesticide labels is essential for compliance and safety, so they should not be discarded even if they are not immediately needed in the field.
