New Tool to Save on Labor for Fruit Growers - Transport Vehicle with Fertilizer Spreader Demonstration

2014-10-09

Effectively lessening the amount of labor associated with fertilizing fruit crops, the Taitung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (TTDARES) demonstrated the use of its recently developed transportation vehicle mounted with a fertilizer spreader. On the morning of October 2 in a sugar apple orchard of Taimali, the Transport Vehicle with Fertilizer Spreader Demonstration and Forum was held. The event demonstrated effective fertilizer spreading techniques and use of the transport vehicle with a mounted fertilizer spreader recently developed by the TTDARES. With this device, the fertilizer is spread via airflow. The structure is simple and very seldom has any mechanical problems. It works well with existing machinery, helping save on costs and increasing the overall use of machinery for growing. The TTDARES hopes this demonstration event will help growers produce a steady stream of high-quality output while increasing revenue.
