be harmful if absorbed through skin
, Which is a label statement associated with a WARNING signal word? - correct
answer-harmful or fatal if swallowed

answer-False
Which identifies the facility that produced a pesticide? - correct answer-establishment
number
Which formulation is most likely to leave a visible residue on plant foliage? - correct
answer-wettable powder
fumigant - correct answer-forms a gas when applied, usually toxic to people
dust - correct answer-low percentage of a.i., applied in dry form, talc-like consistency
