The Federal recordkeeping regulation requires the certified private applicator to record the brand name
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration number of the federally restricted-use pesticides
he/she applies. The Federal recordkeeping regulation does not require the certified private applicator to
record active ingredient(s). You will be able to save time by listing the brand/product name, EPA registration
number, and active ingredient(s) of the pesticides you apply on this page and then entering the corresponding number(s) to complete your record form. Use of this page is voluntary.

Recordkeeping Manual
for Private Pesticide Applicators
T
Although applicators have 14 days to record
information related to applications, it is a good idea
to fill out the recordkeeping form immediately after
application to be sure that you have an accurate and
detailed record.
If you hire a commercial applicator to apply a
restricted use pesticide, you should obtain the
necessary recordkeeping information from the
applicator. Commercial applicators are required to
provide their clients with a copy of the record within
30 days of application. Application information is
also required for fields receiving spot treatments.
On the field record form “USDA” will appear
under each column heading that is required by
the Federal pesticide recordkeeping regulation.
his manual contains forms that will help you
keep the records required by Federal regulations for restricted use pesticides and for compliance with the Worker Protection Standard. These
forms are intended for use by private pesticide
applicators. They are not intended for use by applicators licensed as commercial pesticide applicators.
These forms are designed for your convenience.
The information you write here becomes the official
record for your compliance with the law. This
manual was designed for use in the field or office. If
you use a sharp, dark pencil to write on the forms,
your marks are less likely to be destroyed by rain,
coffee spills, or other accidents. Please write clearly
so that those who inspect your records can easily
understand them.
You may keep your records in other ways as long
as they contain the required information. Either
handwritten notes, computer-generated records, or
other recordkeeping systems are acceptable. The
forms in this manual are also available from the
following Internet Web site:
http://www.ams.usda.gov/science/sdpr.htm.
Who Has Access to Your Records?
Your records can be inspected at any time by
authorized representatives of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and State pesticide regulatory agencies who present identification. In addition, a
licensed health-care professional, or someone
working under a licensed health-care professional’s
supervision, can request the record information at
any time following an application when treating
individuals who may have been exposed to restricted use pesticides.
Recordkeeping Requirements for
Restricted Use Pesticides
The 1990 Farm Bill requires private certified
pesticide applicators to keep records of all applications of federally restricted use pesticides. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural
Marketing Service carries out the provisions of the
Federal recordkeeping requirements. The information required by the Federal legislation is shown on
page 9. These records must be kept for 2 years;
however, you may want to keep them longer for
reference in making future management decisions.
Benefits of Keeping Records
The records you keep on pesticide use are not
only required by the law, they will also help you
improve your farming operation.
• Records help you evaluate how well a chemical
worked, particularly if you have used reduced
rates or alternative application techniques.
7
• Records help you figure out how much pesticide
you will need in a future year, so that you will
not have to store or dispose of extra chemicals.
Recordkeeping Information for the
Worker Protection Standard
• Records help to prevent carry-over injury and
improve rotation decisions.
The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is a
Federal regulation that is intended to reduce the
risk of pesticide poisoning and injury among agricultural workers. Private applicators who hire
pesticide handlers and/or workers must display
application information in a centrally located area
accessible to all employees before a pesticide is
applied. This display of information applies to all
pesticides with “Agricultural Use Requirements”
printed on the label, not just restricted use pesticides.
The Hand/Head Keep Out symbol
appears in the column headings on
the field record sheets to mark information required for worker protection. This includes the location and
crop/commodity treated; brand name;
EPA registration number; active ingredients of
pesticide applied; the month, day, year, and time of
application; and the Restricted Entry Interval (REI).
Most of this information can be found on the pesticide label. Workers, handlers, government officials,
health care workers, and employers of commercial
handlers hired to work on the farm or business
must have access to this information. Commercial
applicators must provide this information to the
agricultural employer before making pesticide
applications. Information must be displayed for 30
days after the end of the REI. If there is no REI on
the label, the information should be displayed for
30 days after the application.
• Records may protect you from legal action if you
are accused of improper pesticide use.
• Food processors may require pesticide records
to evaluate the potential for residues.
• Lenders and land developers often require
records to evaluate potential environmental
liability before lending money or buying land.
• Records provide data to respond to surveys
conducted by Federal agencies and universities
that can impact future availability of some pesticides through re-registration. They may also be
used to respond to the public’s concern
regarding pesticide use.
• Records can save money by helping a farmer
determine the best pesticide management
program. Records are the key to a successful
integrated pest management program.
Enforcement and Penalties
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)
administers the Federal recordkeeping regulations.
The AMS Administrator is responsible for the enforcement actions taken against violators of this
standard. Any private applicator who violates the
recordkeeping requirements of the USDA shall be
liable for a civil penalty of not more than $550 for
the first offense and not less than $1,100 for any
subsequent offense.

How To Complete the Field Record Form
• “USDA” will appear under each column heading that is required by the Federal pesticide
recordkeeping regulation.
• The information in columns marked with the Hand/Head Keep Out symbol must be provided
to field workers/ handlers for all pesticides with “Agricultural Use Requirements” on the label
to meet the WPS requirement.
• This information must be posted before application and remain for 30 days after the end of
the REI for the WPS requirement.

*Time is not required by the USDA pesticide recordkeeping regulation, but it is required by the WPS.
1
Write the location of the field (not the farm or business). The field may be identified on a farm map,
by a USDA map and number, by a common field name (for example, 52-48 Old Creek Field), or by a
legal description. If the site treated is a greenhouse or storage facility, give it a unique name or number.
2
If the name and certification number are the same as the name and certification number of the person
on the applicator information form on page 3, then you may record the letter listed for the applicator. If
anyone else is applying the pesticide, record the applicator’s name and certification number.
3
Fill in the month, day, and year of application. WPS also requires you to post the time of application,
so record time here as well.
4
The EPA Registration Number is located below the ingredients statement on most labels. It is not the
same as the EPA establishment number (for example, EPA Reg. No. 241-337). If you completed page 4
through 6 as suggested, you may write the appropriate number in space 4.
5
Copy the active ingredients (common name) from the label for all products used in the application. If
you completed page 4 through 6 as suggested, you may write the appropriate number in space 5.
6
Write the brand or product name of the pesticide. Multiple lines may be used to record tank mixes.
Information on all products used in a tank mix is required. If you completed page 4 through 6 as suggested, you may write the appropriate number in space 6.
7
The pesticide label lists the Restricted Entry Interval. The application information for workers must
remain posted until 30 days after the end of the REI. When there is no REI, the notice must remain for
30 days after the application date. If you apply pesticides in a tank mix with different REIs, write down
the longest REI.
8
Fill in the crop, commodity, or site. If the location is a greenhouse, record crop and site location. If
you are treating livestock, record the type of animals treated (hogs, cattle, etc.).
10
9
The pesticide label will tell you the application rate per unit (for example, 1.5 pints per acre or 1
pound active ingredient per acre). Record the rate you actually use.
10
Record the number of units treated. This may be acres, linear feet, bushels, cubic feet, square feet, or
number of animals, etc. For special applications (for example, alternate middles, weed wicks, band
applications) record the total area covered. A 20-acre field treated using an alternate middle approach
would still be recorded as 20 acres. See note on spot treatments below.

The total amount applied is figured as the amount of product multiplied by the area treated. If you
have filled out columns 9 and 10, multiply them to get the total amount. Record the total quantity of
pesticide used— not the quantity after water or carrier added.
12
When you are filling out the application record, you may find it helpful to record information about
the sprayer equipment, the pests, the weather (particularly wind speed and direction, but also
temperature and humidity), and the crop status. This will help you know whether an application was
effective and improve future pest-management decisions. It will also be helpful in problem solving if
the pesticide fails to control the target pest or moves off target.
Note: “Spot Treatments” are applications made to less than 1/10th of an acre. Application of a
herbicide along a fence row or an insecticide applied to a fire ant mound would be examples of spot
treatments. (Note: Greenhouse and nursery treatments do not qualify as spot treatments.) For spot
treatments, describe location of area treated (for example, poison ivy along fence row of Baker
Farm), indicate “spot treatment,” and record:
• Brand name.
• EPA registration number.
• Month, day, and year.
• Total amount applied.
• Location.

Sprayer Calibration
(1/128th of an Acre Method)
Check Nozzles for Uniform Output
1) Find a container marked in ounces. With the
sprayer operating at the desired pressure, catch
the output from each nozzle for 20 seconds and
write down the number of ounces.
Wayne Buhler, Ph.D., Pesticide Education Specialist
North Carolina State University
To use pesticides successfully, you must be able
to measure and adjust the amount of pesticide
applied to the target area. It is well worth the time
to calibrate your sprayer so that you know it is
actually applying the product at the right rate in a
uniform pattern. You need to calibrate your sprayer
routinely.
If the sprayer applies too little pesticide, you
may have poor pest control and extra costs for
additional applications and crop losses. If you apply
too much pesticide, you may damage the crop, end
up with too much residue in the crop and soil, and
be fined for illegal applications. You will also have
wasted money for unneeded pesticide.
Choose the right nozzle size, type, and alignment for your application needs. Pesticide labels,
equipment catalogs, and dealers have information
that will help you select the right nozzles.
There are a number of different calibration
methods that work equally well. The procedure
described here can be done with a few common
tools and basic arithmetic.
2) After catching the spray from every nozzle, add
the amounts caught and divide by the number of
nozzles to get the average output per nozzle.
3) If the output from any nozzle is more than 10
percent above or below the average, clean or
replace that nozzle.
4) Recheck the output from any cleaned or replaced
nozzles. Use the new output to figure a new
average. If more than 2 nozzles have output rates
10 percent above or below the average, replace
all of them, and repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 to be
sure the flow rate is uniform.
Nozzle Output Check – Example
Nozzle
Clean the Sprayer Before Calibrating
1) Remove nozzles, screens, and in-line strainers
and clean them in soapy water with a soft brush.
Remove any deposits from the nozzle orifice with
a non-metallic object or compressed air. (Never
use a knife or wire to clean nozzles. They will be
ruined.)

Output Test #1
2) In a place away from any wells or water supplies,
rinse the spray tank thoroughly and partially fill it
with clean water.
• Average 15.75 (round to 15.8). Ten percent of 15.8
is 1.58 (round to 1.6).
• Acceptable range: 14.2 to 17.4 ounces (15.8 + 1.6).
3) Start the sprayer and flush hoses and boom with
plenty of water.
• In this case nozzle 2 and nozzle 8 should be
checked. When output is too low, the nozzle may be
clogged and cleaning may bring it into the correct
output range. When output is too high, the nozzle is
probably worn out and should be replaced.
4) Turn the sprayer off and put nozzles back on the
boom. All nozzles should be the same size and
type.
5) Restart the sprayer, adjust pressure for proper
field application, and inspect nozzles for proper
spray pattern. Replace any nozzle that produces
an irregular spray pattern. Recheck for even
pattern.
Output Test #2
• Average 15.5. Ten percent of 15.5 is 1.5.
• Acceptable range: 14 to 17 (15.5 + 1.5). All nozzles
now fall within the acceptable range.

Appendix 1
Check Boom Height and Nozzle Spacing
Note: When more than one nozzle is used per
row or band, the spray collected from one nozzle
should be multiplied by the number of nozzles
directed at the row or band. All nozzles in this
group must be the same size and have uniform
output. This combined output, in ounces, from all
nozzles directed at the row or band is equal to the
gallons per acre being applied to that row.
Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines to find
out what boom height and nozzle spacing will give
the spray pattern overlap and/or band width that
you need. You can check the spray pattern by
spraying water on a dry pavement or other smooth
surface. Streaking may result from damaged nozzle
tips or an uneven or improper boom height. Adjust
until pattern is even.
Table 1. Calibration Travel Distance
How To Calibrate the Sprayer
Nozzle Spacing,*
Band or Row Width
(inches)
This method is based on the fact that a gallon is
128 ounces so that the number of ounces of pesticide per nozzle applied to 1/128th of an acre is
equivalent to the number of gallons applied to 1
acre. Table 1 shows how many linear feet the
sprayer must travel to give the equivalent of 1/128th
of an acre at various nozzle spacings and band or
row widths. When the sprayer travels this distance,
each nozzle will have sprayed 1/128th of an acre.

Mark off this distance in a field, allowing space for
the sprayer to reach full operating speed before
reaching the first marker of the test course.

STEP 2: TIME
Fill the tank half full with water (no pesticide).
Make at least two runs over the marked distance
with all the equipment (cultivator, disk, planter,
etc.) that will be used during the application engaged. Also, use the gear and throttle settings that
will be used during actual spraying. Figure the
average time in seconds that the sprayer takes to
travel the marked distance. Do not spray during this
procedure.
STEP 3: OUTPUT COLLECTION/GPA
*Use nozzle spacing to determine driving distance for
broadcast sprays. Use band width to determine driving
distance for banded sprays (including post-directed
herbicide sprays). Use row width for foliar sprays
directed to the crop.
Park the tractor and adjust sprayer pressure to
the level that will be used for application. Using a
container marked in ounces, catch the output from
a single nozzle for the length of the average travel
time (from Step 2). The number of ounces collected
from one nozzle is equal to the output of the entire
sprayer in gallons per acre (GPA). (Because you
have already determined that output from each
nozzle is within 10 percent of the average output, it
is not necessary to collect output from every nozzle
during this step.)
**For other spacings, the distance (in feet) can be
figured as:
Distance (ft) =

Appendix 1
STEP 4: HOW MUCH TO USE
Sprayer Calibration Examples
After calibrating the equipment, figure the
amount of pesticide and carrier to put in the tank to
get the desired application rate based on the application method. See the examples for various application methods.
EXAMPLE 1: BROADCAST APPLICATION
• Planned application: Broadcast herbicide.
• Nozzle spacing: 22 inches.
• Rate per acre: 2 pints.
Adjustments for Non-Water Carriers
— Step 1. —
If you will be using a carrier other than water,
the GPA number you get from following Steps 1, 2,
and 3 can be adjusted by using a conversion factor
from Table 2. Multiply the GPA value from Step 3 by
the conversion factor to get the correct output for
the solution being sprayed.
Example: From Step 3, you have found a GPA of
20 gallons per acre. If you will be applying the
pesticide with 28 percent nitrogen solution, the
conversion factor is .89, and you will multiple 20 x
.89 to find an actual application rate of 17.8 GPA.

Based on a 22-inch nozzle spacing, you need to
drive 186 feet (from Table 1).
— Step 2. —
You determine that it takes 32 seconds to drive 186
feet.
— Step 3. —
Output per nozzle for 32 seconds is 13 ounces. This
means your sprayer is applying 13 gallons per acre.
— Step 4. —
To figure out how much herbicide is needed to treat
the field:
• Multiply the number of acres (30) by the
gallons-per-acre output (13) to determine the
amount of total spray solution needed to treat
the field:
30 acres
x 13 gallons per acre
= 390 gallons spray solution.
• The amount of herbicide needed to treat the
field is:
30 acres
x 2 pints per acre
= 60 pints or 7.5 gallons.
• Add 7.5 gallons of herbicide to 382.5 gallons
of water (390-7.5) to treat the 30-acre field.
46
Appendix 1
EXAMPLE 2: BANDED APPLICATION USING ONE
NOZZLE PER ROW
• Field size: 30 acres.
• Planned application: Herbicide in 12-inch band
over corn rows spaced 36 inches apart.
• Label rate (broadcast): 1.5 quarts per acre.
• Planned application: 3-nozzle application of
fungicide to crop planted in 40-inch rows.
Based on a band width of 12 inches, you need to
drive 340 feet (Table 1).
• Label rate (broadcast): 2.5 quarts per acre.
— Step 2. —
You determine that it takes 58 seconds to drive 340
feet.
— Step 3. —
Output per nozzle for 58 seconds is 12.5 ounces.
This means your sprayer is applying 12.5 gallons per
treated acre. Note: When you apply pesticides in a
band, you are treating only a fraction of the total
area of the field. This area is referred to as treated
acres. To determine how many treated acres there
are in a specified field acreage, multiply the field
acreage by the ratio of the band width to the row
width:
Treated acres
= field acres
x (band width divided by row width).
In this example,
30 acres
x (12-inch bands divided by 36-inch rows)
= 10 treated acres.
— Step 4. —
To figure out how much herbicide is needed to treat
the field:
• Multiply the number of treated acres by gallons
per treated acre to determine the amount of
total spray solution needed to treat the entire
field:
treated acres
gallons per treated acre
gallons spray solution
• Determine the amount of herbicide needed
to treat the 30-acre field by multiplying the
number of treated acres by the labeled
broadcast rate:
10 treated acres
x 1.5 quarts per acre
= 15 quarts or 3.75 gallons.
EXAMPLE 3: DIRECTED FOLIAR SPRAY APPLICATION
USING MORE THAN ONE NOZZLE PER ROW
• Field size: 30 acres.
— Step 1. —
10
x 12.5
= 125
• Add 3 gallons and 3 quarts of herbicide to 121
gallons and 1 quart of water (125 gallons - 3.75
gallons of herbicide = 121.25 gallons) to treat
the 30-acre field.
— Step 1. —
Based on a row spacing of 40 inches, you need to
drive 102 feet (Table 1).
— Step 2. —
You determine that it takes 15 seconds to drive 102
feet.
— Step 3. —
Output per nozzle for 15 seconds is 6 ounces.
Assuming all nozzles are the same type and have
uniform output, the group output from the 3
nozzles per row equals 18 ounces (3 nozzles x 6
ounces per nozzle). This means your sprayer is
applying 18 gallons per acre. If all the nozzles are
not the same type, measure the output from each
nozzle of the group and add them together. This
total, in ounces, is equal to gallons per acre.
— Step 4. —
To calculate how much fungicide is needed to treat
the field:
• Multiply field acres by the gallons-per-acre
output to determine the amount of total spray
solution needed to treat the field.
30 acres
x 18 gallons per acre
= 540 gallons spray solution.
• The amount of fungicide needed to treat the
field is:
30 acres
x 2.5 quarts per acre
= 75 quarts or 18.75 gallons.
• Add 18 gallons and 3 quarts of fungicide to 521
gallons and 1 quart of water (540 gallons - 18.75
gallons of fungicide = 521.25 gallons of water)
to treat the 30-acre field.
