Pesticide usage reports must include information for which types of pesticides?

• A. Restricted only
• B. Both restricted and unrestricted
• C. Unrestricted only
• D. Neither

Answer: (B)

Pesticide usage reporting aims to create a complete, traceable record of every application. In New Hampshire, you must include usage information for both restricted‑use pesticides and general‑use (unrestricted) pesticides. The reason is that having data on all pesticide types provides a full picture of what’s being applied, where, when, and how much, which supports regulatory compliance, protects health and the environment, and informs pest‑management decisions. Restricted‑use pesticides require certification and carry higher risk, but general‑use products are also used and can influence exposure and environmental loads; including both ensures the data reflect all pesticide activity. Typical reports capture product name and EPA registration number, restricted‑use status, date and amount applied, application method, location or field, crop or target pest, and the applicator’s license or certification number. Because the system gathers information on all pesticide types, the correct requirement is to include information for both restricted and unrestricted pesticides.
