FERTILIZER APPLICATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fertilizer applicator which can mix several kinds of fertilizers in a hopper in a short time and apply the fertilizers in a stripe or row-like state. SOLUTION: This fertilizer applicator is characterized by disposing rotation shafts each having a stirring blade in a U-shaped gutter to form a stirring portion for stirring raw materials and transferring the mixture in one direction, disposing a pair of the stirring portions in the adjacent positions so that the transfer directions of the stirring portions are reverse to each other, disposing raking-up members in adjacent gutters at the terminals of the transfer directions to form a fertilizer hopper for continuously circulating the raw materials, disposing independently openable or closable shutter plates in fertilizer-applying exits disposed in the bottom of the hopper, and opening or closing only the shutter plate at a desired position.
