[ENUMERATOR ACTION: If pesticides were reported in Section B, column 5, continue. Otherwise, skip to Section E.]


1. Now I need to get complete information on all of the chemicals applied, including applications made by you and/or by custom applicators during the 20XX crop year to each of the target vegetable crops you grew. Let’s start with the first application to your [crop] since the 2013 crop year harvest.
[Complete the table for all chemical applications to the target vegetable crops. Use supplemental tables if necessary. ]
(Include herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, miticides, fungicides, chemical thinners, growth regulators, microbial agents, pheromones, rodenticides, and soil fumigants. Exclude seed treatments, foliar applications of nutrients, and applications made to vegetables after harvest.)
