What should be done if a pesticide label is unreadable?

Use the pesticide anyway
Contact the manufacturer for clarification
Ignore it and proceed
Guess the application rate

The correct answer is: Contact the manufacturer for clarification

When faced with an unreadable pesticide label, contacting the manufacturer for clarification is crucial. The label is a legal document that provides essential information on how to safely and effectively use the pesticide, including application rates, safety precautions, and environmental considerations. An unreadable label means there could be vital information missing that could lead to misuse, which could pose risks to human health, non-target organisms, and the environment. By reaching out to the manufacturer, you can obtain the correct and specific information needed to ensure that the pesticide is applied correctly and safely. This proactive approach helps in maintaining compliance with regulations and promotes responsible pesticide use, ultimately protecting both applicators and the general public.
