Which of the following is NOT a requirement for pesticide application records under the SCPCA?

The correct answer indicates that the common name of the pest is not a requirement for pesticide application records under the SCPCA (State Pesticide Control Act). Pesticide application records are essential for ensuring accountability and compliance with regulations. They typically require information that directly relates to the application process and the pesticides used.

In contrast, the quantity of pesticides used, the date of application, and the purpose for which the pesticide was applied are all critical for tracking usage, assessing environmental impact, and ensuring that applications align with label instructions and regulatory mandates. These records help in monitoring pesticide applications for effectiveness and safety.

By omitting the common name of the pest as a requirement, the focus remains on the application details that are more directly related to regulatory compliance and safety rather than on identifying the specific pest being targeted, which may vary significantly depending on the situation.
