When should you read the pesticide label according to best practices?
After disposing of unused pesticides and containers
Before buying the pesticide
After mixing and applying the pesticide
During storage of pesticides
The correct answer is: Before buying the pesticide
Reading the pesticide label before buying the pesticide is the best practice because it allows you to thoroughly understand the product and its intended use before purchasing it. This can prevent any confusion or mistakes during the disposal, mixing, and storage processes, as well as ensure that you are using the correct product for your specific needs. As for the other options, reading the label after disposing of unused pesticides and containers does not provide any preventative measures and only serves to ensure proper disposal. Reading the label after mixing and applying the pesticide may be too late and can potentially lead to misuse of the product. Reading the label during storage may also be too late and will not provide the necessary information for proper usage.
