Abstract/Contents: | Discusses calibration of granular spreaders. Lists possible benefits associated with spreader calibration, including "effective product performance"; "[reduced] potential for plant injury"; "[reduced] callback/cancellations"; "economic efficiencies"; "enhanced company reputation"; and "good environmental stewardship." States that "calibrating requires a measuring tape/wheel, scale, bucket, calculator and cones or marking paint." Details the steps of spreader calibration. Concludes that "spreaders do not need to be calibrated every hour or even every day, but they should be calibrated regularly because their performance will change over time." |
