Under Section 12(a)(2)(G) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which of the following actions constitutes a federal violation punishable by civil or criminal penalties?

FIFRA Section 12(a)(2)(G) explicitly makes it unlawful for any person 'to use any registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling' ('The Label is the Law'). Applying at a lower rate, targeting an unlisted pest on a labeled site, or using an unprohibited method are statutory exceptions permitted under FIFRA Section 2(ee).
