Fertilizer Law

The Virginia Fertilizer Law (§ 3.2-3608 of the Code of Virginia) requires that any person or business who distributes or applies, for hire, any specialty fertilizer (fertilizer for non-farm use), soil amendment or horticultural growing medium must first obtain a contractor-applicator permit. A permit can be obtained from the VDACS Office of Plant Industry Services.
