NAC587.030. Labels: Contents; general requirements.

     1. In addition to the requirements in NRS 587.015 to 587.123, inclusive, the following govern the labeling of agricultural seeds and the seeds of vegetables, herbs, flowers, trees and shrubs:

     (a) A blank space or the word “free” or “none” in the place of a number or percentage on the label is equivalent to “0” or “0.00 percent” as the case may be to apply the tolerances prescribed in NAC 587.200.

     (b) The information required on the label by NRS 587.091 must be in type no smaller than 8 points.

     (c) Seed treated with a toxic substance must be labeled to show conspicuously on the label, or on a separate label attached to each container, the words “Poison” and “Danger” along with the symbol of the skull and crossbones as it appears on the label of the container of the toxic substance. Any other appropriate warning present on the label for the toxic substance must also be included on the label containing the information on the treatment of the seed. The words “Poison” and “Danger” and the symbol of the skull and crossbones must appear in a contrasting color.

     2. All seed when treated with a substance classified as toxic or harmful must be prominently colored with a suitable color in sufficient contrast to the natural color of the seed as to make detection that the seed has been treated readily apparent. Coloring so applied must be such that it cannot be readily removed.
