The place and context of this document
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained within this publication is accurate. Its contents should be seen as a comprehensive and authoritative guide to what is considered to be "Best Practice" by the industry for the industry.
The Best Practice Guidelines for Ground-spread Fertiliser in New Zealand has been produced as a living document. Your comments and suggestions are welcome to improve this document and its contents. It is our intention to review the Best Practice Guidelines regularly. We believe this document should represent the changing nature of the industry and reflect up to date best practices for Ground-spread fertiliser in New Zealand.
This document has primarily been written for operators and those in the Ground-spread fertiliser industry. However it is hoped that the information provided within should also be valuable to those who are associated with the industry including farmers, the public, children and livestock.
This document provides a resource but is not considered sufficient on its own to operate within the industry. Comprehensive operator training should be sought in addition to training and education regarding the fertilisers and machinery that is utilised.
The groundspread association conducts courses in fertiliser application and safety. For further information contact the N.Z.G.F.A. executive director at:
