For buyers and users, the label helps decide what safety precautions to take and how much pesticide to use. Which option lists this use correctly?

• A. State and Federal Governments
• B. Buyers and Users
• C. Physicians
• D. Environmental Protection Agency

Answer: (B)

Pesticide labels are written to guide the person who actually handles and applies the product. They tell you what safety precautions to take and exactly how much to use, so the buyer or user can apply it safely and correctly. Government agencies set the rules and oversee labeling, and physicians may treat exposure, but the practical use of the label—the decisions about precautions and dosage—belongs to the buyers and users.
