What is the meaning of "Labeling" in pesticide application practices?

1. The act of creating new pesticide formulations

2. The physical act of applying pesticides to crops

3. The process of marking fields after pesticide application

4. The pesticide product label and other accompanying materials that contain legally required directions for pesticide users

The correct answer is: The pesticide product label and other accompanying materials that contain legally required directions for pesticide users

Labeling in pesticide application practices refers to the pesticide product label and other accompanying materials that contain legally required directions for pesticide users. This includes information on how to properly use, store, and dispose of the pesticide, as well as potential hazards and safety precautions. Option A is incorrect as labeling does not involve creating new pesticide formulations. Option B is not fully correct as it only focuses on the physical aspect of applying pesticides, but labeling includes other important guidelines and information. Option C is incorrect as labeling does not involve marking fields after pesticide application, but rather providing information before and during application.
