ABSTRACT
Physical properties of fertilizers affecting the distribution pattern are of concern to farmers and manufactures of fertilizer, fertilizer distributors and drills. The particle size and the particle size distribution also have a large influence on the fertilizer distribution pattern. In this study, the effect of the particle size of some granular fertilizers manufactured in Turkey on the longitudinal distribution pattern of some delivery mechanisms in the domestic drills was determined using a scaling-recording system with the aid of PC.
