What is a fertilizer?

As a Fertilizer—also known as a Fertilizer Applicator—your duties and responsibilities include applying fertilizer to personal or commercial farm acreage used for growing crops. Fertilizers use a variety of methods in their jobs, which can consist of broadcast, side dress, sub-surface, knifing, and other procedures. Some Fertilizers only spread manure, but others include a range of means of applying substances containing nitrogen, potassium, or phosphorus in a dry or liquid state.
