(a) Agricultural liming materials sold, offered or exposed for sale in this State shall have affixed to each package in a conspicuous manner on the outside thereof, a plainly printed, stamped or otherwise marked label, tag or statement, or in the case of bulk sales, a delivery slip, setting forth at least the following information:
(1) The name and principal office address of the manufacturer or distributor;
(2) The brand or trade name of the material;
(3) The identification of the product as to the type of the agricultural liming material;
(4) The net weight of the agricultural liming material;
(5) The minimum percentage of calcium and magnesium.
(b) No information or statement shall appear on any package, label or delivery slip which is false or misleading to the purchaser as to the quality, analysis, type or composition of the agricultural liming material.
(c) In the case of any material which has been adulterated subsequent to packaging, labeling or loading and before delivery to the consumer, a plainly marked notice to that effect shall be affixed by the vendor to the package or delivery slip to identify the kind and degree of such adulteration.
(d) At every site from which agricultural liming materials are delivered in bulk and at every place where consumer orders for bulk deliveries are placed, there shall be conspicuously posted a copy of the statement required by this section for each product.
(e) At any time after July 1, 1970, when the Department finds, after public hearing following due notice, that the requirements for expressing the guaranteed analysis of calcium and magnesium in elemental form would not impose an economic hardship on distributors and users of liming materials by reason of conflicting labeling requirements among the States, the Department may require by regulation thereafter that the “guaranteed analysis” shall contain the minimum percentages of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in elemental form and calcium carbonate equivalent.
