Fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin used to enhance the growth of plants. Fertilizers are commonly used for growing all corps, with application rates depending on the soil fertility, usually measured by a soil test and according to the particular crop. Fertilizer spreaders for large scale farming are tractor mounted. For small scale uses, it not possible to use costly tractor mounted spreaders. Conventional spreading of fertilizers for small scale farming are by hand. It has some problems like uneven spreading of fertilizer, more time consuming, high human effort. The farmer have to carry heavy bags throughout the spreading process. So it is necessary to develop a fertilizer spreader for small scale farming. The proposed fertilizer spreader uses a trolley type of mechanism. The main part is spreader disk, which helps for uniform spreading. The feed for the disk is from the wheels of the trolley using gear transmission. By using this spreader, a lot of time can be saved, human effort used for carrying heavy bags of fertilizer is reduced and wastage of fertilizer can also be avoided.
