The standard harmonizes testing of full width solid fertilizer distributors first to fix the variable conditions of laboratory testing and second, to give guidance for the field testing conditions. The laboratory tests describe the influence of forward speed, flow rate, fertilizer level in hoppers, bumps and transverse tilting.

This part of ISO 5690 specifies a test method for equipment for full width distribution of solid fertilizers and applies to agricultural full width fertilizer distributors.
NOTE Equipment designed for distributing microgranular pesticides or herbicides is excluded. Part 2 of ISO 5690 deals with distributors of fertilizers in lines. (See ISO 3339-0 for the classification.)
