Abstract: A material distributing boom of a material distributing apparatus comprises at least two boom sections. A material distributing control method comprises: first, controlling the first boom section to move to a vertical state, and keeping the first boom section in the vertical state; second, controlling other boom sections to move to accomplish material distributing work. A material distributing apparatus implements the material distributing control method. On the premise of ensuring maximum material distributing height, the material distributing control method provided achieves reduced supporting spans of the legs of the material distributing apparatus in material distributing work and provides possibility for reducing the strength of the legs by sacrificing the material distributing radius to some degree innovatively.
