Incorrect or Invalid Quantity Applied

ReasonExplanation/Solution
Amount of product + diluent is reported.Report the undiluted amount of each product; that is the amount taken from the product container.
Decimal point is in the wrong place in the number.Carefully write or enter the amounts applied.
Applicator cannot determine the amount of product, in mixtures, after dilution.Record the amount of the product used prior to dilution.  If the whole mix is not used or is used on different properties, then adjust the pre-mix amount by multiplying by the percentage of the mix actually used for the application.
The amount of active ingredient is reported.Report the amount of pesticide product applied, not the active ingredient.  You do not need to convert the product amount into amount of active ingredient.

Incorrect or Invalid Units of Measurement

ReasonExplanation/Solution
Non-specific units of measurement are reported.Do not report values such as pieces, packs, chunks, G, each, bags or seconds that cannot be converted into an accepted unit of measurement..
Rate of application is reported in the units column.Report the unit of measurement applicable to the quantity applied or  sold, not the rate of application (e.g. not 1000 lb/acre).
