Website and Mobile App
Whether you are planning work in the office or adjusting settings directly in the field, the Kverneland Spreading Charts are always available. Access the full database through the web platform or quickly find fertiliser settings using the mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.
Tested for Precision
Reliable Data You Can Trust
All spreading charts are developed through professional testing according to strict international standards. This ensures accurate fertiliser distribution and optimal machine performance across a wide range of fertiliser types and field conditions.
Get Direct Access to the Spreading Charts
The Kverneland Spreading Charts platform gives you fast and flexible access to accurate fertiliser settings for your spreader.
Using the Kverneland SpreadApp on your mobile device, you can quickly select your spreader model, enter fertiliser characteristics and receive recommended spreader settings based on extensive testing from the Kverneland Spreader Competence Centre.
For the new Kverneland Alentix spreader, the process becomes even easier. With Bluetooth connectivity and Kverneland Sync, the recommended settings can be transferred directly from your mobile device to the spreader.
There are several ways to use the spreading charts:
-
Print the spreading chart directly from the website
-
Send settings via Bluetooth using Kverneland Sync directly to an Alentix spreader
-
Transfer settings via the AutoSetApp and a Tellus terminal
This flexibility allows operators to choose the method that best fits their workflow, whether working from the office, in the yard, or directly in the field.
Experience yourself now how easy it is to setup your fertiliser spreader with the new App (download via the App Store or Google Play) or via the website www.kvernelandspreadingcharts.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are spreading charts important?
Using correct spreader settings improves fertiliser distribution, reduces waste and helps achieve consistent crop growth across the field.
Which spreaders are supported?
The platform provides settings for all Kverneland fertiliser spreaders, including a wide range of models used worldwide.
Can I use the spreading charts in the field?
Yes. The spreading charts are available through both a mobile application and a web platform, allowing farmers to access settings directly from the tractor cab.
Are new fertilisers regularly added?
Yes. The database is continuously updated as new fertiliser types are tested and validated.
How to Use the Kverneland Spreading Charts
Start by selecting the Kverneland spreader model you want advice for.
You can also search directly using the serial number. Simply enter the full or partial serial number and click search.
The VN number in the model name represents the first part of the serial number. This number can be found on the serial number plate located on the left-hand side of the spreader frame.
Selecting the correct machine ensures the spreading advice matches your spreader configuration.
Next, enter the field settings and select the required application type.
These parameters define how the spreader will operate in the field. The values entered here can still be adjusted later on the advice page.
Enter the following information:
Working Width
Enter the desired spreading width for your operation.
Application Rate
Enter the fertiliser application rate in kg/ha.
If the rate is very low, the system may recommend using a fine application kit.
Driving Speed
Enter the expected tractor driving speed during spreading.
Fertiliser characteristics have a major influence on spreading performance. For accurate settings it is important to define the physical properties of the product you intend to spread.
Density (Specific Weight)
For the most accurate recommendations, enter the fertiliser density.
This can be measured using the one litre measuring set supplied with the spreader or with accurate weighing scales.
For best accuracy:
Measure 1 litre of fertiliser and weigh it
Accuracy should ideally be ±10 grams
If precise scales are not available, measure 10 litres and divide the total weight by 10.
Granule Size Distribution
Use the granule size box, which is supplied with every Kverneland disc spreader.
Fill the box with fertiliser
Shake the box until no further separation occurs
The box separates the fertiliser into four compartments based on granule diameter
The total distribution across all compartments should always equal 100%.
This information helps the system determine the correct spreading settings.
Based on the information entered, the system calculates the optimal spreader settings.
You can then:
Print the spreading chart for use in the tractor cab
Send the settings via Bluetooth using Kverneland Sync directly to an Alentix spreader
Transfer the settings via the AutoSetApp to a Tellus terminal
This ensures fast and accurate spreader setup in the field.

Important Information About Fertiliser Spreading Settings
The spreading settings provided on the Kverneland Spreading Charts platform are based on extensive testing carried out at the Kverneland Spreader Competence Centre under controlled laboratory conditions.
Please note that not all fertiliser types can be spread at every working width. The recommended settings correspond to the maximum working width that achieves a coefficient of variation (CV) below 10% in laboratory tests, ensuring effective spreading quality in the field.
Fertilisers with the same commercial name may have different physical characteristics due to production location, transport, storage conditions or humidity. These factors can influence fertiliser flow and spreading behaviour.
For the most accurate settings, we recommend identifying fertiliser based on granule size and specific weight, rather than relying only on the product name.
To ensure optimal results, always perform a static calibration test before spreading. If necessary, a tray test can be carried out to verify the spreading pattern. In many regions, professional organisations provide tray testing services to support accurate fertiliser application.
