The used fertiliser materials have been purchased from the fertiliser manufactur- ers or from dealers. Experience shows that, due to storage, transportation and other reasons, the fertiliser materials at your disposal - even with identical speci- fication - might exhibit a different spreading behaviour.
  • Page 66 Commissioning Example of field spreading during normal fertilising: Figure 7.14: Field spreading during normal fertilisation During field spreading in normal fertilising mode, a symmetrical spreading pattern is produced.
