Water course spreading (environmentally oriented setting)

In cases where a water course is situated directly at the field’s edge, the fertiliser environmental legislation prescribes the maintenance of either a distance of one metre with the aid of a border spreading device, or as much as three metres when not using a border spreading device. In order to prevent over-fertilisation on the inside of the field, the spread rate from the side of the spreader towards the border again has to be reduced.
