5.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE DISTRIBUTION
●
Always undertake a test on the lbs/acre to be distributed before beginning operations.
●
Always make sure that the fertilizer used is in good conditions; damp fertilizer cannot be
correctly and evenly distributed.
●
Only open the gates when the required speed has been reached.
Avoid distributing the fertilizer on land that is constantly exposed to the wind to assure
even
distribution.
