What is a Fertiliser Spreader and what are they used for?

A fertiliser spreader is a piece of farming equipment available as an attachment for tractors or a ground-driven, propelled device. This equipment is used to eradicate soil compaction without impairing the structure of soil and increase the nutrients within soil, resulting in higher harvest production levels. Fertiliser spreaders are an affordable and effective fertilising method used to reduce moisture retention in soil as well as reduce water runoff.

A fertiliser spreader is ordinarily used to evenly dispense fertiliser to a field by means of a rotating dispenser. There are several types of fertiliser spreader equipment available on the market, varying on the type of work the equipment is needed for. The most used fertiliser spreaders are the Pneumatic and Centrifugal fertiliser spreader.

Most fertiliser spreaders are designed to hold solid and liquid fertiliser and provide the options of adjustable flow rates for seeding efficiency.

## How is a [fertiliser spreader](https://www.agrimag.co.za/farm-equipment/spreaders/) operated? A fertiliser spreader contains a chamber located on the top of the equipment that stores the fertiliser that will be used on the land. Once the spreader is drawn across the land, the chamber releases the stored fertiliser down and out through tiny holes at the bottom of the spreader. The spreader creates narrow trenches wherein fertiliser is uniformly placed. This process may take a few passes back and forth to evenly apply fertiliser to the land. Over the past few years, farmers all over the country and globe have resorted to investing in equipment that needs less manual labour. This is why the demand for fertiliser spreaders has significantly increased, with the equipment being low in cost and excellent fertiliser distributors. It is highly recommended for the equipment to be washed down and properly oiled after use to reduce the chances of early corrosion and rusting.
