Improved Accuracy of Granular Applications

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering
Major Program: Grains
Outcome: Initial Outcome
With increased cost of granular inputs (fertilizer and seeds), producers are becoming more aware of the precision with which they are applying these inputs to fields. A new online calculator tool and test procedure handbook was developed to help producers test and visualize the distribution patterns of granular applicators, calculate optimum swath width, and visualize the consequences of incorrect swath patterns. Producers implementing these tools will significantly increase the use efficiency of granular field inputs.
