Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing nitrogenous fertilizer materials or mixed fertilizers from nitrogenous materials produced in the same establishment. This includes ammonia fertilizer compounds, anhydrous ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, nitrogen solutions, urea, and natural organic fertilizers (excluding compost) and their mixtures. Sample business functions include ammonia liquor, ammonium nitrate and sulfate, anhydrous ammonia, aqua ammonia (made in ammonia plants), mixed fertilizers (made in plants producing nitrogenous fertilizer), natural (organic) fertilizers (excluding compost), nitric acid, nitrogen solutions (fertilizer), mixed plant foods (made in plants producing nitrogenous fertilizer), and urea.

Establishments primarily engaged in the formulation and preparation of ready-to-use agricultural and household pest control chemicals, including insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, from technical chemicals or concentrates. This also includes the production of concentrates that require further processing before use as agricultural pesticides. Additionally, this industry includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing or formulating agricultural chemicals not elsewhere classified, such as minor or trace elements and soil conditioners. Excluded are establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing agricultural lime products. Sample business functions include agricultural disinfectants, agricultural pesticides, formulated calcium, copper, and lead arsenates, formulated arsenites, Bordeaux mixture, formulated calcium arsenate and arsenite, cattle dips, formulated copper arsenate, defoliants, and minor or trace elements (agricultural chemicals).
