Plant and soil amendments; provide additional label requirements for.
SB 2026 would update Mississippi's labeling rules for soil amendments and plant growth products. It adds definitions for "beneficial substances" (like natural growth enhancers) and "plant biostimulants" (products that improve plant health without just supplying nutrients), clarifying they are treated as soil amendments. The bill requires manufacturers to list all ingredients - including exact percentages of beneficial substances and inert materials - on product labels, along with usage instructions and product purpose. These changes would directly affect companies selling soil amendments and biostimulant products in Mississippi, ensuring clearer information for farmers and gardeners. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
