Fertiliser Spreading
The ability
to spread fertilisers uniformly with any type of spreader depends on the physical properties of the material. Flow characteristics
through a metering system are important for all types of spreaders and RG Contracting use the Trimble Navigation System.
For
spinning disc and spout machines, the size distribution of the particles is critical, particularly when operating at bout
widths greater than 18m. Good spreading characteristics for a fertiliser are affected by the way in which it is made, packaged,
stored and handled on the farm. This is of even greater importance with higher fertiliser prices.
Many materials are hygroscopic and will absorb moisture if exposed to the atmosphere, leading to caking and poor spreading
performance.
But RG Contracting can offer precision fertiliser spreading services using
the Trimble Navigation System which will ensure improved uniformity of spreading, particularly at wide bout widths: less lodging
risk and better utilisation leading to improved yields and quality, improved timeliness, labour utilisation and reduced crop
losses due to the ability to operate with wide bout widths and improved fertiliser handling - less break-up of material and
less dust.
