Designing A Suitable Fertigation System

Fertigation is the application of fertilizers and irrigation water. The most common form of fertigation in Kenya is by drip irrigation. Fertigation provides accurate power, application flexibility, minimized, and environmental losses.

The advantages of advanced greenhouse fertigation system – the fertigation manager for plants that nutrients are applied right in the active root zone with water, there is a uniform Fertigation is the application of fertilizers and irrigation water.

The most common form of fertigation in Kenya is by drip irrigation. Fertigation provides accurate power, application flexibility, minimized, and environmental losses. The advantages of fertigation drip for the producer include improved efficiency, higher yields of flowers, and fruit sizes.

The continuous supply of small quantities of fertilizer reduces the risk of fertilizer lost through leaching or runoff by reducing the environmental impact. Work/water/fertilizer costs are lowest. The weed pressure is decreased – the water is applied only around the root zone of the crop and the paths remain dry.

Fertigation has higher application versatility and the amount of water and fertilizer utilized can be quickly changed depending on the size of the plant, the growth rate, the type of weather, and soil. The leaves do not get wet if there is a pressure of less disease. Water does not bounce off the ground on culture – meaning cleaner leaves, flowers and fruits, and less risk of microbial contamination of vegetables.
