Fertigation Machine: A Detailed Overview of Fertigation Technology
Release Date:
2020-07-20
The integrated water–fertilizer application system is primarily suited for facility-based agriculture, orchard cultivation, and the cultivation of cash crops such as cotton in open fields, as well as other crops that offer good economic returns. It is particularly appropriate for areas with reliable, fixed water sources—such as wells, reservoirs, and storage ponds—where water quality is good and meets the requirements for microirrigation, and where microirrigation infrastructure has already been installed or can be readily established.

A fertigation unit is an integrated irrigation and fertilization device that combines irrigation with fertilizer application. Utilizing a pressurized irrigation system, it mixes soluble solid or liquid fertilizers into a nutrient solution and delivers this solution—along with irrigation water—uniformly and precisely to the soil around crop roots. By employing fertigation technology, irrigation and fertilization can be tailored to meet the specific growth requirements of crops throughout their entire life cycle, ensuring that water and nutrients are applied in precise amounts and at optimal times, and delivered directly to the plants in the correct proportions. Pressurized irrigation encompasses methods such as sprinkler irrigation and microirrigation; currently, the most common approach is the integration of microirrigation with fertilization, with drip irrigation and micro-sprinkler irrigation being the predominant combinations.

The integrated water–fertilizer application system is an irrigation and fertilization system that takes into account water sources, topography, planting area, and crop type. It is suitable for protected cultivation, open-field vegetable production, and field-grown cash crops. For protected cultivation, fertilizer application typically employs fertilizer applicators, differential-pressure fertilizer tanks, or injection pumps; in orchards, micro-sprinkler fertigation systems are generally used, with injection pumps as the preferred fertilizer application device; where conditions permit, intelligent irrigation–fertigation systems can be implemented.
