Clean Fertilizers Potent Risk to Spreader Mechanics
Farmers warned that fertilizer spreaders and attachments must be thoroughly cleaned after use to prevent corrosion of moving parts. Failure to do so threatens subsequent operation and equipment longevity.
Proper care steps for fertilizer equipment storage
The guide warns fertilizer materials are acid forming and cause corrosion if moisture is present. It prescribes removing all fertilizer, cleaning agitation parts, brushing off residue, flushing with water, drying thoroughly, spraying a 50 50 mix of used crankcase oil and kerosene, and storing the machine in a shed for readiness next use.
Proper Fertilizer Options for Soil Nutrients Balance
Farmers consider fertilizer type by soil needs. Simple fertilizers supply one nutrient, mixed contain two or more, and complete include nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Economical choice depends on nutrient requirements and cost per pound of plant food. If only one nutrient is needed, separate materials may be cheaper than mixed or complete blends.
