Alabama Administrative Code › Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES › AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY › Chapter 80-1-6 - SALE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER › Section 80-1-6-.06 - Penalties For Plant Food Deficiencies

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
If any fertilizer sold in this state shall, upon official
				  analysis, prove to be deficient from its guarantee as stated on the bag or
				  other container, or upon the invoice or other accompanying statement if sales
				  are made in bulk or liquid form, penalties shall be assessed as follows:
(a) For a single ingredient fertilizer
				containing nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P205) or soluble potassium
				(K20), when the deficiency exceeds five percent of the guaranteed content, the
				penalty shall be three times the commercial value of the deficiency.
(b) In a multiple ingredient fertilizer
				containing two or more of the ingredients, nitrogen (N), available phosphorus
				(P205) and soluble potassium (K20), when the deficiency of either such
				ingredient is 10 percent or more of the guaranteed content thereof, the penalty
				shall be three times the commercial value of the deficiency.
(c) For a multiple ingredient fertilizer
				containing two or more of the ingredients, nitrogen (N), available phosphorus
				(P205) and soluble potassium (K20), if the total combined commercial value of
				these nutrients is found to be deficient in excess of five percent of the total
				commercial value, the penalty shall be three times the actual value of the
				deficiency; provided, however, when a multiple ingredient fertilizer is subject
				to a penalty under both (b) and (c) above, only the larger penalty shall be
				assessed.
(d) If the content of
				calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, copper, iron, manganese or zinc
				in mixed fertilizer shall be shown by official analysis to be deficient to the
				extent of 35 percent or more from the guarantee, the penalty shall be $6.00 per
				ton, provided that the minimum penalty assessed shall be no less than
				$25.00.
(e) If the content of
				boron, molybdenum or cobalt in mixed fertilizers shall be shown by analysis to
				be deficient from the guarantee to the extent of 50 percent or more, the
				penalty shall be $6.00 per ton, provided that the minimum penalty assessed
				shall be no less than $25.00.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(a) Before any person sells or offers for
				sale any commercial fertilizer in this state for use herein or before any
				person sells such fertilizer for importation into this state for use herein
				where such person is required to comply with the labeling requirements of
				Section
				2-22-7,
				such person shall apply for and obtain from the commissioner a license
				authorizing the sale of commercial fertilizer. The application for a license
				shall be accompanied by the fee required by subsection (b) of this section and
				shall be on forms furnished by the Commissioner, which forms shall contain
				certain information as is necessary for the issuance of the license. All such
				licenses shall expire on September 30, the end of the fiscal year for which
				they are issued, and shall be renewed annually as of October 1, upon payment of
				the required license fee.
(b) The
				license fee shall be based upon the number of tons of commercial fertilizer
				sold in or for importation into the state for use therein during the preceding
				12-month period which ends on June 30. The amount of the license fee shall be
				based upon the following schedule:
Tons Sold License Fee Less than 100 tons
				  ................................. $ 30.00 100 tons or more but less than 1,000
				  tons .......... $ 60.00 1,000 tons or more but less than 5,000 tons ........
				  $120.00
5,000 tons or more but less than 10,000 tons .......
				  $175.00
10,000 tons or more but less than 25,000 tons ......

75,000 tons or more but less than 100,000 tons ..... $500.00
				  100,000 tons or more ............................... $750.00
If the license fee is not paid within a period of 30 days
				  after the due date, a delinquent penalty of 10 percent of the amount due
				  (minimum $10.00) shall be added to the license fee. The license fee due under
				  this subsection and delinquent penalty shall constitute a debt and become the
				  basis of judgment against the person required to obtain the license if not paid
				  by such person as required in this subsection. The amount of the license fee
				  required to be paid by persons not previously selling commercial fertilizer in
				  or for importation into this state shall be the minimum fee of $30.00, which
				  license shall also expire on September 30 following the date of issuance, at
				  which time said license shall be renewable in accordance with subsection (a) of
				  this rule.
