Takeaway
Always read the colour triangle - red/yellow labels need full PPE while blue/green are safer - to plan pesticide handling.
Summary
- Pesticide labels carry 4 colour-coded triangles indicating toxicity class.
- Red = Extremely Toxic (Class I), lethal dose 1-50 mg/kg; full PPE essential (e.g. Monocrotophos).
- Yellow = Highly Toxic (Class II), LD50 51-500 mg/kg; still very dangerous, requires PPE.
- Blue = Moderately Toxic (Class III), LD50 501-5000 mg/kg; basic precautions needed.
- Green = Slightly Toxic (Class IV), LD50 above 5000 mg/kg; safest; pick by colour to plan spray PPE.
