Which unit is used to express the labeled rate in the bedded field calculation?

• A. Pounds per acre
• B. Pints per acre
• C. Gallons per acre
• D. Ounces per acre

Answer: (B)

Liquid pesticide labels are usually written as a volume per area, so the labeled rate is expressed in pints per acre. This unit lets you scale the amount to treat the whole area, including bedded fields, by multiplying the rate by the number of acres. Pints per acre is convenient for liquid formulations commonly labeled in that volume. Other units—pounds per acre (for dry products), gallons per acre (another common volume but not the one specified on this label), or ounces per acre (too small for typical field rates)—don’t match the labeling convention for this product, so pints per acre is the correct choice.
