Abstract/Contents:"When developing recommended rate settings, the size of rate increments affects the precision of the recommended settings. The larger the increments on a given spreader, the more likely that setting recommendations will have to be chosen that are significantly different from the desired rates. Three spreaders (homeowner rotary, homeowner drop, and professional drop spreader) were evaluated to document the size of the setting increments. The professional drop spreader had the smallest increments; the homeowner rotary had the largest increments."
