4.7.10 Calculation of the amount of fer-
tiliser to spread
Below are the formulas needed to find the total fertiliser
flow value (kg/min) exiting the fertiliser spreader based on
the desired spreading dose and vice versa.

where:
F
T
: is the total fertiliser flow value (kg/min) exiting the
fertiliser spreader. To know the fertiliser flow exiting only
one adjustment shutter, divide the F
T
value by 2.
D
L
: is the amount of fertiliser you wish to spread ex-
pressed in (kg/ha).
W
L
: is the working width expressed in (m).
V
L
: is the working speed expressed in (km/h).
