Adjustments on fertilizer spreading are cen-
tralized in each fertilizer hopper of the plan-
ter. Fertilizer’s dosing device is adjusted by
turning its adjusting wheel (1, Fig. 6.119 ). The
adjusting scale has values from 0 to 30 (2, Fig.
6.119).
If the specic weight of the fertilizer to be
used is dierent from the ones in the dosing
tables, apply the following formula to calcu-
late the Kg/ha which are going to be spread:
WHERE:
Z = Kg/ha which are going to be spread.
V = Kg/ha in the table depending on the dosing adjustment, the row spacing and the fer-
tilizer’s specic weight shown in the table.
Weight
T
= specic weight shown in the table depending on the selected value “V”
Weight
R
= actual specic weight of the fertilizer.
In case of fertilizing at a dierent row spacing from the ones in the dosing tables, apply the
following formula:
WHERE:
Z = Kg/ha which are going to be spread.
V = Kg/ha in the table depending on the dosing adjustment, the row spacing and the fer-
tilizer’s specic weight shown in the table.

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE VALUES UNDER 10 IN THE ADJUSTING SCALE, SINCE THEY
MAY RESULT IN IRREGULAR SPREADING DUE TO THE FERTILISER’S GRAIN GEOMETRY.
THE MACHINE COMES ASSEMBLED WITH A DISTANCE BETWEEN FERTILIZERS FROM 5 TO 9 CEN-
TIMETRES IN RELATION TO THE PLANTING ROW.
BEFORE START PLANTING, MAKE SURE THAT THE DISTANCES BETWEEN PLANTING ROWS AND
FERTILIZER ROWS ARE CORRECT.
