When storing pesticides and chemicals, you should follow directions on the ____.

  1. Package insert.

  2. Product label.

  3. Veterinary formulary.

  4. M.S.D.S.

The correct answer is: M.S.D.S.

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that contains information on the potential hazards of a particular chemical, along with instructions for its storage, handling, and disposal. This makes it the most appropriate source of information when storing pesticides and chemicals. The other options, such as the package insert or product label, may provide some guidance on storage instructions, but they may not cover all necessary safety precautions. Similarly, the veterinary formulary may contain information on the specific chemical's usage in veterinary medicine, but it may not have comprehensive information on proper storage. Therefore, the MSDS is the most reliable source for ensuring safe storage of pesticides and chemicals.
