The effects of rotational agitators on the flow rate, flow evenness and degradation of two different granular fertilizers through a fluted metering roller in seed drills caused by the type of agitator, angle of agitator and rotational speed of agitator were studied. As a result, the type of agitator had a significant effect on the flow rate, flow evenness and degradation of triple superphosphate.
