The labeling of containers for seeds of agricultural crops must state, in addition to the requirements of NRS 587.091:
1. The kind and variety, or the kind and the phrase “variety not stated,” for each seed of another crop in the container in excess of 5 percent of the whole, and the percentage by weight of the pure seed of each listed in a column in order of its predominance. Seeds of other crops in the container which are less than 5 percent of the whole may be claimed as part of a mixture but if so must conform to the requirements applicable to seeds in excess of 5 percent of the whole. Mixtures must be designated by the word “mixed” or “mixture” accompanying the name of the mixture. Hybrids must be labeled as hybrids.
2. The number or other identification of the lot.
3. The origin, state or foreign country, if known, of alfalfa, red clover and field corn, but not of hybrid corn. If the origin is unknown, this fact must be stated.
4. The percentage by weight of all seeds of weeds present.
5. The name and rate of occurrence per pound of each kind of seeds of restricted noxious weeds present.
6. The percentage by weight of seeds of crops other than those named on the label. These may be designated “crop seeds.”
7. The percentage by weight of inert matter.
8. For each seed for agricultural crops named in the label:
(a) The percentage of germination, exclusive of hard seed;
(b) The percentage of hard seed, if present; and
(c) The month and year the test for germination was completed, and for mixtures, only the date of the oldest test of the seeds in the mixture.
In addition, following the percentages shown in paragraphs (a) and (b), the total germination and hard seed may be stated as such.
9. The name and address of the person who labeled the seed, or who sells or offers the seed for sale within this state.
