Abstract

The added value using crop status information from adjacent tramlines in fertiliser spreading was investigated for both a centrifugal and pneumatic spreader. For this purpose, a simulation model for virtual fertiliser spreading was developed. The research showed that there was no advantage from using crop status information from adjacent tramlines. This was due to the fact that the compound spread patterns were not able to approximate the crop requirement curve. The best approximation was obtained when compound spread patterns had a shape that corresponded with the crop requirement curve in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
