sowing tines are "les dents du semoir" as illustrated in this document
"Versatile Sowing Mechanism
The fluted distributors in the grain compartment suit a wide range of sowing applications, from small pasture seeds to large legumes such as Peas and Lupins. Optional broad bean distributors can also be fitted. Where high rates of one material are required (ie. Urea for
growing rice) both compartments can be utilised. If wider sowing tine spacings are required (ie. 230mm) </B> the excess distributors are easily blanked off using the shut off covers. Adjustable rubber gates minimize seed damage and fertiliser build-up"

Not convinced 900gr of fertilizer per 10 decares, or per hectare, is not agriculture, but homeopathy ....
And the "decares" used only in Norway and the Ottoman empire are a bit of a niche application, to say the least.

Re dekar decare
n ten ares or 1000 square metres
(C19: from French décare; see deca-, are2)
http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/anglais-definition/decare

The decare (pronounced /ˈdɛkɛər/) is a unit for the measurement of area, generally used for land area. One decare (from deka, 10 and are) is the same as 10 ares, which is the same as 1000 square metres.
The decare is not widely used, except in Norway and many of the formerly Ottoman countries.

Typo ? Il doit y avoir des fautes de frappe, non ? Cela ne ressemble pas à de l'anglais
