What should be included in an application record regarding REI and PHI?

• A. REI and PHI notes are optional.
• B. REI or PHI notes should be included in the application record.
• C. Only product name is required.
• D. A copy of the label.

Answer: (B)

Recording REI and PHI details is essential in pesticide application records. REI indicates how long entry is restricted after the spray, and PHI shows when harvest is allowed after application. Including these notes in the application record ensures everyone knows the exact safety timing and helps meet labeling and regulatory requirements. That’s why the best practice is to document REI or PHI notes in the record. Merely listing the product name doesn’t convey the required safety intervals, and making these notes optional could lead to noncompliance. A label copy might be kept for reference, but it doesn’t replace the need to document the specific REI and PHI timing in the record.
