Minimum pricing and maximum pricing
Maximum price policy is implemented by the government in order to safeguard the consumers from being exploited. Graphically, it can be presented as;

As we can observe that the economy is at equillibruim price which is p1. But the government intervenes in the market and sets max price of Po, this is an effective maximum price because it's lower than that of market clearing price. But due to this, there would be excess demand which would result in shortages so government would either have to utilize stock from buffer stock management or pay a subsidy to the producers.
In effective maximum price is above the market equillibrium price level and therefore it's in-effective.

Similarly, minimum price is implemented to protect the rights of producers. The graph is drawn the same way but the effective and in effective prices change their position. I think you've pretty much understood the application of it so I am not explaining it but if you feel the need to, don't hesistate asking.
