Fertigation

Fertigation is the injection of fertilizers used for soil amendments, water amendments and other water-soluble products into an irrigation system. It is practiced extensively in commercial agriculture and horticulture. Fertigation is used to add additional nutrients or to correct nutrient deficiencies in nutrient-deficient plants. It is usually practiced on high-value crops such as vegetables, turf, fruit trees, and ornamentals.

Benefits of Using Fertigation

• Increased nutrient absorption by plants.

• Accurate placement of nutrients, where the water goes the nutrient goes as well.
• Reduction of fertilizer, chemicals, and water needed.
• Reduced leaching of chemicals into the water supply.
• Reduced water consumption due to the plant’s increased root mass’s ability to trap and hold water.
• The application of nutrients can be controlled at a precise time and rate necessary.
• Minimized risk of the roots contracting soil-borne diseases through the contaminated soil.
• Reduction of soil erosion issues as the nutrients are pumped through the water drip system.
