Regulated terms
Terms used on the audit record.
The acronyms and terms that show up in your records and on the audit PDF, defined plainly.
Weather source
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
The U.S. government agency that operates the National Weather Service. LedgerRow attaches NOAA station observations to every Application at the moment of submit, so the weather on the record comes from a source the regulated party did not control.
Worker safety
Worker Protection Standard
The EPA rule covering agricultural worker safety. Defines training, notification, and PPE requirements for handling pesticides on farms.
Spray composition
Tank mix
Two or more pesticide products combined in the same spray pass. LedgerRow records each product as a separate line on the same Application; the tank mix is one regulated event.
Licensed operator
Certified applicator
A spray applicator licensed by the state to apply pesticides, including restricted-use products. The license number sits on the Application record alongside the applicator's name.
The regulated chemical
Active ingredient
The chemical in a pesticide product that does the regulated work (for example, glyphosate or atrazine). The audit record carries the trade name; the active ingredient is what an EPA reviewer looks up first.
How much, per acre
Application rate
How much pesticide is applied per unit of land (for example, ounces per acre or pints per acre). The rate is a regulated field on the audit record.
Off-target movement
Drift
Off-target movement of a pesticide during or after application, usually carried by wind. Auditors care about drift because it crosses into liability for the operation.
Product identifier
EPA registration number
The EPA identifier printed on the product label.
Pre-harvest interval
Days between spray and harvest
The minimum days between spraying and harvest.
Restricted entry interval
Hours before re-entry
The minimum hours before a worker can re-enter the treated area.
Restricted-use
Certified applicators only
A product the EPA limits to certified applicators.
