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 69 Commissioning Example of field spreading during normal fertilisation: Figure 7.13: Field spreading during normal fertilisation During field spreading in normal fertilisation mode, a symmetrical spreading pat- tern is produced. If the spreader is correctly set (see information in the fertiliser chart), the fertiliser is evenly spread over the field.
