(2)           The pesticide used in the blend bears end‑use labeling directions providing for mixing with fertilizer or mixing with fertilizer is recommended in writing by an appropriate federal or state agency or official; and

(3)           The custom blend is delivered to the user together with a copy of the pesticide end‑use labeling which is registered and a statement specifying the composition of the mixture and proper application rate.
