Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 2:69-1.13 - Maximum permitted chlorine in certain fertilizers

(a) When fertilizers claim or imply that potash is present in the form other than chloride, the percentage of chlorine present shall not exceed that obtained by the following calculation:

Multiply the percentage of potash found to be present by the factor 0.05 and to this product add an allowance of 0.5 percent.

Example: 12-4-8 (LC) for potatoes

Percentage of potash found present: 8.42%

8.42% 0.05 = 0.4210%

Allowance: + 0.5000% = 0.9210% maximum permitted
