What does not need to be included in the application records for professional applicators?

For professional applicators, the application records serve as a crucial log of pesticide usage and must contain specific details to ensure compliance with regulations and to promote safety. Among the various elements that should be documented, factors such as the location of the application, wind speed, and date of application are critical pieces of information that help maintain accountability and track usage patterns.

Relative humidity, while it can influence pesticide effectiveness and may be noted informally by applicators considering the environmental conditions, is not a mandatory record-keeping requirement. This distinction underlines the significance of monitoring the factors that directly impact pesticide application effectiveness, drift potential, and regulatory compliance, while also recognizing that not every environmental condition is essential for formal record-keeping purposes.
