Which item is NOT required to be included in pesticide applicator records?

• A. License number of the applicator.
• B. Name of the person/organization.
• C. Location.
• D. Date and time.

Answer: (A)

Records of pesticide applications are meant to capture the actual event of applying the product: who performed it, where it happened, and when. The name of the person or organization identifies who is responsible for the application. The location notes where the product was applied, which is important for follow-up and risk assessment. The date and time record when the event occurred, tying the application to timing rules such as re-entry intervals and withdrawal periods. While verifying credentials is important, the license number of the applicator is not required to be part of the application record itself. Keeping the record focused on who did the work, where, and when ensures clear, actionable documentation for compliance and traceability.
