INTRODUCTION
During the period January l through December 31, 1973, 14A pesticide samples
were analyzed.
LABELING REQUIREMENTS
Chemicals that require registration under the Kentucky Economic Poisons Law
must bear a label stating directions for use, which, if complied with, are con-
sidered adequate for the protection of the public. With few exceptions, the label
must contain a warning or caution statement, designed to prevent injury to man
and other vertebrate animals, vegetation, or other useful living things. The
front or display side of the label should also bear the statement "Keep Out Of
Reach Of Children". If the product is shipped in interstate commerce, the label
should bear the EPA registration number.
The label of the product must also contain an active ingredient statement
which shows either the name and percentage of each active ingredient together
with the total percentage of the inert ingredients, or the names of each active
ingredient in the desending order of their percentages together with the name of
each and the total percentage of the inert ingredients. The ingredient statement
of any product may be of either form, except in the case of compounds which are
highly toxic to man. The ingredient statement for products containing highly
toxic compounds must list the name and percentage of each active ingredient.
Highly toxic materials may also be required to be colored or discolored for the
protection of the public health.
The label provides the public with information on the uses of, and the precau-
tions to be taken in using all economic poisons sold in Kentucky. The name and
address of the manufacturer or distributor, the net weight or measure of the con-
tents of any package or bottle, and the brand or trademark under which the product _
is sold must appear on the label.
FIELD INSPECTION
In order to adequately enforce the provision of the act, field inspectors
are authorized to collect samples of economic poisons and devices and to enter
any car, warehouse, store, or other place where economic poisons or devices may
be stored for the purpose of inspection or sampling. They are also authorized to
issue and enforce a written or printed stop sale or removal order on a lot of
economic poison when the material being offered for sale is in violation of any
of the provisions of the Kentucky Economic Poisons Law. They are authorized to
hold this material at a designated place.
PESTICIDE—EERTILIZER MIXTURES
An important group of specialty products are the products in which an insec-
ticide, herbicide, or other economic poison is incorporated into a fertilizer.
These products must be registered under the economic poisons law and the fert-
ilizer law and the labeling must meet the requirements of both laws.

 · KENTUCKY ECONOMIC POISONS REPORT, 1973 5
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
The following tables are compiled by active ingredient. Manufacturers are
listed alphabetically above their respective products. The examinations reported
are official samples of pesticide products offered for sale in Kentucky.
Of the samples reported, 13 samples were found to be deficient in one or
more of the active ingredients guaranteed. Seven products were not registered
when the sample was taken.
The symbols in the right hand column of each table have the following meaning:
P (Passed) denotes the amount of active ingredient found was not
significantly at variance from the amount guaranteed.
D (Deficient) denotes the amount of active ingredient found was
significantly below the amount guaranteed.
X (Not registered) denotes the product was not registered in Ken-
tucky at the time the sample was taken.
M (Mislabeled) denotes the product did not meet the label require-
ments in all respects.
