  1. Restricted Use Recordkeeping Survey MSU Pesticide Education Program 2010

  2. 0 of 32 What type of applicator are you? • Private (Farm) • Commercial/Government • Not certified

  3. 0 of 32 Do you record your restricted use pesticide applications within 2 weeks of application? • Yes • No • Sometimes • Don’t apply restricted use pesticides

  4. Compare yourself to 2009 Surveys • Over ½ of all respondents indicated they did not record all pesticide applications within 2 weeks of pesticide application.

  5. 0 of 32 Why don’t you record your restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications? • I do record all of my RUP applications • No time • I didn’t know I had to • Not enforced anyway • I forget • Other

  6. Compare yourself to 2009 Surveys • Of those that did not record their RUR applications, 31% indicated forgetting to record applications, while 18% indicated they did not know they had to. • Many individuals indicating ‘other’ expressed it was a combination of factors: usually including no time initially, combined with forgetting a few weeks later.

  7. 0 of 32 Do/would you find it useful to have a history of your pesticide applications. • Yes • No (waste of time)

  8. Compare yourself to 2009 Surveys • Eighty nine percent of all respondents would find it useful to have a history of their pesticide applications. • By recording applications applicators may track their pesticide’s efficacy, resistance, and mode of actions which may be helpful in future management decisions.

  9. How could the USDA Restricted Use Recordkeeping Program be improved? • Less time consuming to record applications • More education on how to record applications properly • More enforcement • Create more useful tools for recording applications. • Get rid of the program (waste of time) • No improvement necessary • Other

  10. Compare yourself to 2009 Surveys • 1 in 4 applicators indicated no improvements were necessary. • 1 in 5 applicators indicated the USDA should create more useful tools for recording applications. • 21% of applicators surveyed indicated they would benefit if recording applications was less time consuming, while 22% of applicators surveyed indicated more education was needed.
