Subject to paragraph (2), any person spreading slurry must use spreading equipment with a low spreading trajectory, that is, below 4 metres from the ground.

Spreading equipment with a spreading trajectory of more than 4 metres from the ground may be used on land that has a low run off risk where such equipment can achieve an average slurry application rate of not more than 2 mm per hour when it is operating continuously.

Any person spreading nitrogen fertiliser must do so in as accurate a manner as possible.
