Fertilizer Program

Medium

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture regulates the distribution and sale of fertilizers to protect consumers and ensure access to high quality fertilizer products. This page provides information on how to obtain a fertilizer distributor’s license and how to register fertilizer products in North Dakota.

All fertilizer materials, foliar fertilizers, micronutrients, specialty fertilizers, soil amendments and plant amendments must be registered with the North Dakota Department of Agriculture prior to being distributed or offered for sale. Information on how to obtain a fertilizer registration can be found in the NDDA Fertilizer Registration and Licensing Guidelines document to the left.

Our partnership with Kelly Registration Systems has concluded. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture will now be managing pesticide and fertilizer registrations internally to enhance efficiency and provide a more streamlined experience.

What This Means for You:

All services previously handled by Kelly Registration Systems will now be managed directly through the department using the License Application & Renewal Services (LARS) system.
While your existing account data has been preserved, a new login is required to access the system.
You can expect continued excellence in service with responsiveness and support.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this transition.

The Department no longer accepts hard-copy fertilizer labeling. Registrants should submit electronic documents (pdf) through the LARS system.
