1. The Director, who may act through an
authorized agent, shall sample, inspect, make analyses of and test commercial
fertilizers and agricultural minerals distributed within this state at such
time and place and to such an extent as the Director may deem necessary to
determine whether those commercial fertilizers and agricultural minerals are in
compliance with the provisions of this chapter. The Director or the agent may
enter upon any public or private premises during regular business hours in
order to have access to commercial fertilizers and agricultural minerals
subject to the provisions of this chapter and the rules and regulations adopted
pursuant thereto.
2. The methods of analysis must be those
adopted by the Director from sources such as those of the Association of
Official Agricultural Chemists.
3. The Director, in determining for
administrative purposes whether any commercial fertilizer or agricultural
mineral is deficient in plant food, must be guided solely by the official
sample as defined in NRS 588.100 , and
obtained and analyzed as provided for in subsection 2 of this section.
4. The results of official analysis of any
commercial fertilizer or agricultural mineral which has been found to be
subject to penalty or other legal action must be forwarded by the Director to
the registrant at least 10 days before the report is submitted to the
purchaser. If during that period no adequate evidence to the contrary is made
available to the Director, the report becomes official.
5. Upon request, the Director shall
furnish to the registrant a portion of any sample found subject to penalty or
other legal action.
