[81] Optimising herbicide input to the economic threshold level should avoid the unnecessary use of herbicides and reduce selection pressure.
The purpose of the label is to "provide clear directions for effective product performance while minimizing risk to human health and the environment." A label is a legally binding document that mandates how the pesticide can and must be used and failure to follow the label as written when using the pesticide is a federal offense. [4]
