Why are labels so important in pesticide use? Explain the dangers associated with pesticides

What will be an ideal response?


Label information is of extreme importance. Pesticides are specific, meaning that they control
specified insects but do not affect others. In addition, they are only appropriate for crops and situations
listed such as ornamentals, tropical plants and greenhouses, fields and interiors. There is no such thing
as an all-purpose insecticide. Chemicals that may be used for outdoor gardens or greenhouses may not
be labeled for (and, therefore, not safe for) interiorscape use. Similarly, pesticides labeled for interior
plants are probably not suitable for home gardens. Never assume that a chemical may be used on
edible crops.
