Which statement describes how rinsate may be used?

• A. The pesticides in the rinsate are labeled for the intended application site; the amount in the final mix does not exceed label rates for that site.
• B. The rinsate can be used on any site regardless of labeling or label rates.
• C. Rinsate must be discarded after each use.
• D. Rinsate can only be used for wash water.

Answer: (A)

Rinsate can be reused, but only under label directions. The pesticides present in the rinsewater must be labeled for the intended application site, and the amount applied with the rinsate must not exceed the label’s rate for that site. This keeps applications within what the label allows and helps prevent overuse or misuse. If the rinsate would be applied to a site not labeled for those pesticides, or would push the rate beyond the labeled limit, it must be disposed of according to the label. Rinsate isn’t limited to wash water only if the label permits its use on the intended site and within the allowed rate.
