Edge spreading or border spreading

Edge spreading refers to fertiliser distribution at the border where fertiliser is spread over the border but where only slight under-fertilising of the field boundary is produced.

During border spreading virtually no fertiliser is spread over the boundary of the field, but underfertilisation at the boundary must be accepted.
