What Is Variable Rate Fertiliser Spreading? (and Why It Matters)

This lesson explains how variable rate fertiliser spreading improves on traditional single-rate applications by matching nutrient inputs to soil fertility, landform and farm enterprise needs. Dr Ants Roberts, Science Mentor, outlines how precision spreading can reduce unnecessary fertiliser use, lift pasture production where it matters most, and support better economic and environmental outcomes across the farm.
