The present invention relates to a method for applying an agrochemical mixture to a working area (2) of a field (1) using a vehicle (3) moving on the field (1). Thereby, a fertilizer (6) is spread on the working area (2) using a fertilizer spreading device (4) mounted on the vehicle (3; 3a) and a fertilizer additive (7) is sprayed on the working area (2) using a field sprayer (5), mounted on the vehicle (3) separately from the fertilizer spreading device (4). Furthermore, geographical position of the vehicle (3) is determined and a predetermined quantity of fertilizer (6) and fertilizer additive (7), respectively, is applied to the field (1) depending on the determined position on the field (1). Moreover, the invention relates to a vehicle (3) for applying an agrochemical mixture to a working area (2) of a field (1) while moving on the field (1).
