From a catalogue about agricultural products, such as seed drills, etc.
I assume the term should translate as 'fertiliser aggregate' or 'fertiliser aggregator' but cannot find examples of either term. Does anybody have a clearer idea?

Fertilizer spreader
My search engine favours 'Fertilizer spreader' for UK suppliers and 'Fertilizer applicator' for US suppliers.
To my ears an applicator is something more delicate and accurate than the muck spreaders I saw on the fields nearby this weekend.

: Applicator simply refers to the technical term for what they do. As in the 'application of manure (pesticide, ect)' which refers to the entire process. And as a noun - 'an application of fertilizer' (etc.) to describe to dosage on a field.

Fertilizer compound (or mixture)
In connection with equipment, an "aggregate" can be defined as "forming a collection from separate parts." If referring to fertilizer, the closest match I can think of is "compound" or "mixture" of two or more ingredients used to make the fertilizer.
