Brand new at RAUCH and ready for the season is a WhatsApp service for fertiliser settings. This service provides quick and easy support if you cannot find the right settings in the RAUCH app or in the fertiliser charts.
Especially with new types of fertiliser, different qualities or short-term applications, it may happen that no directly suitable settings are available. The WhatsApp service makes it easy to request missing settings to ensure precise and practical fertiliser application.
The following information is required for a quick and accurate setting recommendation:
Based on this information, an individual test is carried out and a suitable setting recommendation is made for the respective RAUCH fertiliser spreader. If the fertiliser is not included in the existing fertiliser charts, there is also the option of a free test in the RAUCH test hall using a fertiliser sample sent in.

Less fertiliser, higher yields? With Rauch fertiliser spreaders and the VariSpread pro automatic section control, this is no contradiction! Fertiliser savings of up to 15% are possible, which is doubly beneficial: for your wallet and for the environment.
How does it work? VariSpread pro continuously adjusts the working width and application rate while driving. This means that no fertiliser is wasted at headlands, field corners and unused tramlines. The smaller the field, the greater the savings.

How do I set my fertiliser spreader correctly?
The correct setting depends on the type of fertiliser, the application rate, the working width and the driving speed. The basis is always the appropriate fertiliser chart and a setting of the spreading discs and dosage that is tailored to the fertiliser. With RAUCH fertiliser spreaders such as AXIS, AXENT or AERO, these parameters can be precisely coordinated to achieve uniform cross-distribution.
Why is spread pattern control so important? Regular
spread pattern control ensures that the fertiliser is distributed evenly across the entire working width. Deviations quickly lead to over- or under-fertilisation and thus to yield losses. In our experience, control is a key component of efficient and precise fertiliser application.
How can I save fertiliser while maintaining the same yield?
Potential savings can be achieved primarily through precise adjustment of the fertiliser spreader, the use of section control and an adapted driving style. Systems such as VariSpread, VariSpread pro or precise quantity control with EMC help to reduce overlap and apply fertiliser in a targeted manner.
What role do fertiliser type and quality play in application?
Different types of fertiliser vary in grain size, density and flow properties. These factors directly influence the throwing range and the spreading pattern. Therefore, the fertiliser spreader should always be adjusted specifically for the fertiliser and compared with the corresponding fertiliser charts.
What should I do if I cannot find the fertiliser settings in the RAUCH app?
If you cannot find the right fertiliser type in the RAUCH app or in the fertiliser charts, we offer a special service: we will test your fertiliser free of charge in our test hall. This will provide you with individual and precise setting recommendations for your RAUCH fertiliser spreader, tailored to the fertiliser type, spreader and working width. Simply use the form to send in your fertiliser sample and our test hall team will take care of the optimal settings.
When should the fertiliser spreader be checked and serviced?
Before the start of the fertilising season, it is advisable to carry out a complete functional check of the spreader. This includes checking wear parts, checking the metering systems and calibrating the application rate. Regular maintenance ensures consistently precise spreading results and reliable application.
How do wind and weather conditions affect fertiliser application?
Wind, humidity and soil conditions have a direct influence on the trajectory of the fertiliser granules and the lateral distribution. Especially with larger working widths, an adapted driving style and settings are crucial to ensure even fertiliser application.
What are typical mistakes in fertiliser application?
The most common mistakes include incorrect fertiliser charts, inappropriate settings for the fertiliser type, uneven driving speed or lack of spreading pattern checks. A working width that is not optimally adjusted can also lead to spreading losses and inefficient fertiliser use.
How do digital systems support precise fertiliser application?
Digital assistance systems enable significantly more accurate control of the application rate and distribution. Functions such as EMC for automatic mass flow control or OptiPoint and OptiPoint pro for optimum switching point control at the headland help to make fertiliser application efficient, precise and resource-saving.
