Heed the weather!

Strong winds may affect your spread pattern, especially if you’re spreading lighter prills. Our simple advice: if it is too windy to spray, don’t spread either. Keep an eye on humidity levels too; on a damp day fertiliser can absorb moisture, which will affect flow rates. Damp or humid conditions will also affect sulphur products, causing them to build upon the vanes quicker than in dry conditions.

Consistent forward speed

Speed plays an important role in achieving a constant application rate, so the correct gear must be used. With machines that rely on PTO or ground drive to operate the disc, always travel at the recommended forward speed. Variations will produce uneven spread and variable application rates.
