The enforcement of the new law will be at the retailer.
For the most part, we will be able to sell organic fertilizer with higher levels of phosphorus and sell chemical fertilizer with a P-rating of approximately 15 for starter. Turfgrass maintenance chemical fertilizer should be no phosphorus versions.
10-10-10 is common among farmers developing or reclaiming new pasture.
There is no legal status other than the education of when not to apply that will be invoked to the land owner.
If the retail sells 10-10-10, but the landowner applies double the recommended quantity, the law does not cover that; nor does it cover a landowner doing so on established turfgrass.
So all the ''enforcement'' should be at the wholesale/retail level currently.
