labeling which is false or misleading to the purchaser as to the use,
analysis, type or composition of the soil amendment or plant amendment.
(3) The director may require verification of label claims made for any
soil amendment or plant amendment. If no claims are made he may require proof
of usefulness and value of the soil amendment or plant amendment. For evidence
of proof, the director may rely on experimental data, evaluations or advice
supplied from sources such as the director of the agricultural experiment
station. The verification of label claims shall be relevant to the stated uses
for which the product is intended. The director may accept or reject other
sources of proof as additional evidence in evaluating soil amendments and
plant amendments.
(4) Soil amending or plant amending ingredients may be listed or
guaranteed on labels or labeling of soil amendments or plant amendments with
the permission of the director. The director may allow a soil amending or
plant amending ingredient to be listed or guaranteed on the label or labeling
if satisfactory supportive data is provided to the director to substantiate
the value and usefulness of the soil amending or plant amending ingredient.
The director may rely on outside sources such as the director of the
agricultural experiment station for assistance in evaluating the data
submitted. When a soil amending or plant amending ingredient is permitted to
be listed or guaranteed, it must be determinable by laboratory methods and is
subject to inspection and analysis. The director may prescribe methods and
procedures of inspection and analysis of the soil amending and plant amending
ingredient. The director may stipulate by rule the quantities of soil amending
or plant amending ingredient(s) required in a soil amendment or plant
amendment.
