Summary: Reading a pesticide label is a crucial step in determining how much of the chemical to use and how it should be safely handled. Learn to read pesticide labels with tips from the owner of a farm-supply store in this free pesticide safety video.
"The label that's on all pesticide containers has been written in a language that everybody should be able to understand and use. The pesticide label is the law. Anytime that you use a pesticide the uses for that pesticide are laid out in detail how much you use of the chemical to hundred square feet or to use in you mixtures. It's all laid out on the label. Any use of the pesticide beyond what is labeled, written on the label, is a violation of federal law. You not only put yourself and others at risk, but it is dangerous and you can be held liable for an incident involving the pesticide in which you may have used in a non-labeled manner."
