(1) Samples of
				  seeds that are unclean, field run or containing high inert matter shall be
				  charged an additional $10.00 per sample.
(2) Fees for tests on seed kinds not listed
				  shall be based on the cost of a kind with a similar test.
(3) Louisiana Noxious Weed Seed Examination
				  included in Purity Exam.
(4) For
				  germination tests of mixtures of two or more kinds of seed, the fee is the sum
				  of the fees established for germination tests for the components of the
				  mixture. For a purity analysis performed in conjunction with a germination
				  analysis of seed mixtures, the fee is the same as for that component of the
				  mixture for which the highest charge would be made if separately analyzed. For
				  purity analysis not performed in conjunction with a germination analysis the
				  fee is the sum of the fees established for the purity tests for the components
				  of the mixture if separately analyzed.
