Localize ferti lizer gives signifi cant benefi ts in terms of
result and yield. Adopti ng strip distributi on allows to
reduce applicati on rate, minimizing wastes. The precise
and proven GASPARDO distributor system delivers the
quanti ty of granular ferti lizer into the ti llage strip up to
455 lb per acre (500 kg per hectare).
Distributi on is driven by an hydraulic motor which can
quickly change applicati on rate even on the run. If con-
nected with Precision Farming systems, ferti lizer rate
can be managed in relati on to the machine’s positi on,
following a distributi on program.
Localize stable elements like Phosphorus
and Potassium directly under the seeding
furrow does great advantage compared to
traditi onal spreading distributi on. At fi rst
growth stages rooti ng depth will be pro-
moted, with positi ve eff ects on later crop
resistance to water stresses and ability to
adsorb soil nutrients.
