Fertigation Solutions

Fertigation = irrigation water + specific fertilizers.

Theory = small application amounts on a frequent basis using the irrigation system as a spray machine.

Injection system: low capital outlay - can be fitted to most existing irrigation systems either at the pivot centre, pump shed, water mains.

Benefits of Fertigation include:

• Not labour intensive nor time consuming - easy to use.
  
• Uniform spread of nutrients across the watered area.
  
• Suitable for pasture and cropping farm situations.
  
• Major and Minor nutrients and elements can be injected.
  
• Fertigation nutrients compliment solid ground fertilizers.
  
• Soluble nutrients that require no mixing - just add to the water.
  
• Less weight of nutrient required for same or better growth.
  
• Plant, root available nutrients are more active and effective.
  
• Lowers your nitrogen nutrient impact especially on effluent paddocks

Tailor made fertilizer programs using solid fertilizers and fertigation formulations based on soil test results and present farming conditions give the best results.

Long term trials results in both New Zealand islands, on the system and products, have proved it is cost effective, produces more growth and improves quality of pastures and crops.
