If the registrant's name appears on the label and the registrant is not the manufacturer, or if the name of the person for whom the pesticide was manufactured appears on the label, it must be qualified by appropriate wording such as "Packed for ...," "Distributed by...," or "Sold by...," to show that the name is not that of the manufacturer.

D. Directions for use are required for the protection of the public. Pesticides restricted by this chapter shall be registered only for their permitted uses, and the label shall have a prominent statement to the effect that the product is to be used only as directed. Directions for use are considered necessary in the case of most retail containers and must include:

8. Specific directions concerning the storage, residue removal, and disposal of the pesticide and its container.
9. Any limitations or restrictions on use required to prevent unreasonable adverse effects.

1. If the pesticide is to be used by manufacturers in their regular manufacturing processes, provided that the label clearly shows that the product is intended for use only in manufacturing processes, and bears an ingredient statement giving the name and percentage of each of the active ingredients.
2. If (i) the pesticide is sold to a producer for dilution or mixing with carriers to prepare pesticides for sale to the public, provided that the label bears an ingredient statement giving the name and percentage of each of the active ingredients; (ii) the pesticide is a well-known substance or mixture of substances; and (iii) there is readily available general knowledge of the composition, methods of use, and effectiveness of the product for pesticide purposes.
