(2) Is not registered; or
(3) Fails to bear on its label the information required by this subtitle.
(b) After entry of the decree of condemnation, the pesticide shall be destroyed or sold, as the court directs. If the pesticide is sold, the proceeds, less legal costs, shall be paid to and deposited in the fund established in § 6-501 of this article.
