What is Fertigation?

Fertigation has been described as the application of plant nutrients in irrigation water to accomplish fertilization.

Fertigation is becoming widely accepted in the industry due to the fact that a properly designed system will perform accurately, is now economical, easy to install, saves time, labor and most importantly, will save you money. A proper system will eliminate waste, sludge and residues. It allows one to "fine tune" fertility levels, and will monitor the rates of fertilizer being applied.

A good system will also address the reduction of fertigation water runoff which will soon be environmentally required.

How do you Fertigate?

To fertigate, you must use fertilizer. The type of fertilizer you select should be a high quality liquid containing low salts, high purity, complete solubility and an acceptable pH. The analysis of fertilizer, (the N P K ratio) should be directed toward your specific needs, based upon soil, medium and tissue analysis. The nutrient ratios, including secondary and minor elements are probably endless. However, the fertilizer selected must fit your program's requirements. Your system should allow you to fertilize with ease, increase and/or adjust growth, fine tune your color and monitor the health and the marketability of your production.

We deliver 2 1/2 tons, or larger quantities to storage tank sites as requested. Smaller quantities are available as we package in 2 1/2, 5, 30 & 55 gallon containers and 275 gallon totes.

In addition to liquid fertilizer, we offer complete agronomic consultation, agricultural chemicals, fluid limestone, storage tanks, pumps, hoses and other related liquid fertilizer handling equipment.

Also, we support the "TRICKLE" concept of fertilization and provide the materials, technical support and the follow up to provide a successful trickle system.
