Missouri pesticide application records

Missouri Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Pesticide Control (MDA-MO) requires certified commercial applicators to keep a record of every use of a pesticide. The rule: 2 CSR 70-25.120; RSMo ch. 281. This guide lists what the record must contain, when it is due, how long to keep it, and what SprayDocs checks before the PDF leaves your phone.

What the record must contain

The elements below are required on every Missouri record. SprayDocs shows exactly these inputs for a Missouri record and will not produce the PDF while a required one is blank.

Who must keep it, and for which jobs

Who: Certified commercial applicators.

Which jobs: Every use of a pesticide.

Is anything filed with the state?

No routine filing. Records are available for inspection and furnished within 10 days of the director’s request.

Copies of the record

No standing copy deadline in the rule we reviewed; copies owed on request are described under filing. Federal law still requires a customer copy within 30 days for restricted-use applications.

Restricted-use products in every state: federal law (7 U.S.C. 136i-1) requires commercial applicators to keep the record 2 years and give the customer a copy within 30 days. SprayDocs flags this on any record with a restricted-use line.

What SprayDocs checks before the PDF

Validation runs on your phone as you type. Blocking items stop the export; reminders do not.

  • Every required element above is checked for a blank: 10 state-specific inputs plus the elements common to all states.
  • Conditional elements (Reduced-concentration written request) remind you instead of blocking — a blank is legitimate when the condition does not apply.
  • A stop time before the start time blocks; an application date in the future is flagged.
  • A product marked restricted-use requires its EPA registration number and shows the federal 2-year / 30-day reminder.
  • Text that the PDF fonts cannot print (an emoji, say) is cleaned rather than allowed to blank a field.
