Spreading Fibrophos

Fibrophos is a coarse powder and therefore should be spread using a contractor with the appropriate experience and equipment for spreading this type of material.

It is recommended to employ a trailed spreader with a moving belt floor system or similar, such as those found on Atkinson, Bredal, Land Drive or Transpread machines.

It is the responsibility of the user to read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet, to ensure that the product is fit for purpose, and to apply the product in accordance with the DEFRA Code of Good Agricultural Practice. 

DO NOT: 
a) apply to pasture where stock are grazing. 
b) re-introduce stock whilst product is visible on forage. 
c) re-introduce stock within two weeks of application.
