Sales of agrichemical tank cleaners and foam markers, agricultural chemicals, including adjuvants, seeds, roots, bulbs, and small plants for commercial vegetable gardens or agricultural purposes are not subject to the tax, but such sales for noncommercial purposes are taxable. A householder's garden is not a commercial vegetable garden.
The term "adjuvant" includes surfactants, phytobland oils, stickers, spreaders, spreader-stickers, thickening agents, and antifoam agents.
The term "small plants" includes potted plants, set plants, small young trees, shrubs, herbs, slips, cuttings, flower seeds, flower plants, and small saplings.
Small young trees, including fruit trees, and shrubs, when sold for the purpose of rural windbreaks, shelterbelts, soil erosion prevention, and other agricultural purposes, are exempt from sales tax.
