Field Records for Restricted Use
Record keeping VIII-1
Field Records for Restricted Use Pesticide Applicators
Private applicators must record their restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications, as required by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade (FACT) Act of 1990. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service administers this activity. RUP application records must be maintained for two years from the date of application. The certified pesticide applicator should retain these RUP records, but must be able to make them accessible for copying by authorized representatives. RUP application records may include invoices, be computerized, and/or maintained in record-keeping books.
Your records must include:
- Brand/product name
- EPA registration number
- Total amount of RUP applied
- Crop/site treated
- Field location
- Acres treated
- Application date
- Name of certified applicator
- Certification number
Spot treatments
RUP applications made on the same day in a total area of less than one-tenth of an acre require the following information to be recorded:
- Brand/product name
- EPA registration number
- Total amount applied
- Location must be designated “spot treatment”
- Date of application

Field Records for Restricted Use Pesticide Applicators and Integrated Crop Management by Private Applicators
Gary L. Hein & Jay D. Donahue (Adapted from Field Records for Restricted Use Pesticide Applicators and Integrated Crop Management by Private Applicators, EC-93-2540C, published by the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service.)
For additional information about restricted use pesticide application recordkeeping requirements, contact your local Cooperative Extension office.
Spot Treatments
RUP applications made on the same day in a total area of less than one-tenth of an acre require the following information to be recorded:
- Brand/product name
- EPA registration number
- Total amount applied
- Location must be designated "spot treatment"
- Date of application
These regulations define a private applicator as a certified applicator who is applying an RUP for agricultural production. Treating a house or other building with an RUP for non_agricultural purposes (for example, termiticide application) is not considered agricultural production and would not require a record under these regulations.
A commercial applicator must, within 30 days of an RUP application, provide a copy of the required records to the person for whom the RUP was applied. However, certified commercial applicators can hold these RUP application records for their clients as long as the client has signed a statement recognizing the commercial applicator as the record holder. Commercial applicators should provide their clients with a copy of the signed statement, make these records available to their clients upon request, and maintain separate records for each client.
The brand name, formulation and EPA registration number for many RUPs are listed. If you use an RUP that is not listed, add the brand/product name, formulation and registration number to the table. Check the pesticide label or ask your dealer for this information.
Complete the master list of applicators and their EPA certification numbers for anyone making RUP applications on fields in this record book. The master list eliminates the need to record the EPA certification number in conjunction with each RUP application.
