Article 10 - Sale and Analysis of Commercial Fertilizer
146-G - Retail Sale.

§  146-g.  Retail  sale.  Any retailer who sells or offers for sale to
consumers specialty fertilizer in which the available  phosphate  (P205)
content is greater than 0.67 percent, shall:
  (a) display such phosphorus-containing specialty fertilizer separately
from non-phosphorus specialty fertilizer; and
  (b)   post  in  the  location  where  phosphorus-containing  specialty
fertilizer is displayed a clearly visible sign which is at  least  eight
and one-half inches by eleven inches in size and states that:
  "Phosphorus  runoff  poses a threat to water quality. Therefore, under
New York law, phosphorus-containing fertilizer may only  be  applied  to
lawn or non-agricultural turf when:
  (1)  A  soil  test  indicates that additional phosphorus is needed for
growth of that lawn or non-agricultural turf; or
  (2)  The  fertilizer  is  used   for   newly   established   lawn   or
non-agricultural turf during the first growing season."
