It combines fertigation with irrigation delivery to supply nutrients directly to the plant root zone. The technique is most commonly implemented with drip or micro-irrigation systems, but can also be used with sprinkler systems in some setups. The fundamental idea is to dissolve fertilizer in irrigation water and inject it into the irrigation stream.
Implementation relies on a fertilizer injector or metering pump, correct chemical compatibility, and reliable water supply.
Benefits include efficient nutrient use, reduced fertilizer losses through leaching and volatilization, and the ability to
Fertigaatio is related to fertigation and is widely used in modern horticulture, nursery production, vineyards, and
