Site specific fertilizing of base nutrients requires the development of new techniques to ensure accurate and effective application under rapidly changing field conditions. The most important criteria regarding spreader technology are dose rate accuracy, part width options and short response times to vary fertilizer rates. The pneumatic spreader developed is equipped with a 24 m boom and four separate electrohydraulic systems for independent regulation of application rates.
