www.fibrophos.co.ukPhysical Spreading
Most moving belt machines will
handle Fibrophos satisfactorily,
although a reduced spreading
width must be allowed for due to
the powder properties. Spreading
greater than widths of 12m is
not recommended.
Fibrophos is best spread using
experienced contractors who have
the correct calibrated machinery.
All fertiliser application should follow
the Code of Good Agricultural
Practice and based on the nutrient
required by each crop to ensure
the best financial return giving due
consideration to the environment.
Application rates for Fibrophos
0-12-12 will depend on a wide
range of factors but are typically
applied at 400-700Kg/ha and
thereafter annually as required.
