5. Fill in the month, day, and year of application. WPS also requires the applicant to post the time of application, so record time here as well.

Step:2 Timing details

1. 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.
2. When there is no REI, the notice must remain for 30 days after the application date.
3. If the applicant applies pesticides in a tank mix with different REI’s, write down the longer REI.

Step:3 Fee

1. The pesticide label will usually give the minimum to maximum of the application rate per unit (for example, 1.5 pints per acre). Record the rate of actually use.
2. 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.
3. A 20-acre field treated using an alternate middle approach would still be recorded as 20 acres.
4. The total amount applied refers to the total quantity of product used, not the quantity after water or carrier are added. Amount does not refer to percent of actual ingredient.
