How long must records be kept for restricted use pesticide applications?

Records for restricted use pesticide applications must be kept for three years to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and provide a sufficient timeframe for review if necessary. This duration allows for monitoring of pesticide application practices and ensures that any potential adverse effects can be traced back to their source. Furthermore, maintaining records for this period helps in documenting the responsible use of pesticides, contributing to environmental protection and safety in aquatic pest management. The three-year requirement balances the need for accountability with practical considerations for record-keeping by those involved in pesticide application.
