Fact Sheets and Other Pesticide Information

Pesticide Recordkeeping Resources

• Illinois Fact Sheet (for all Illinois applicators)
• Federal Recordkeeping Requirements (USDA site)
• USDA's "Recordkeeping Manual for Private Pesticide Applicators"
  
  • Originally, USDA was fulfilling requests from individual producers. However, to reduce their costs, they now only ship bulk orders. You can obtain a spiral-bound copy of this manual from your local U of I Extension office; there may be a small fee to recover internal shipping and handling costs. In the event that spiral-bound manuals are no longer available from these sources, we obtained permission to scan and republish this manual online so that you can print and create your own three-ring recordkeeping binder(s).
