Fertigation is the name given to the practice of combining fertiliser application with irrigation.

Fertigation allows precise and uniform nutrient application into the wetted root zone, where the active roots are concentrated. Fertilizer efficiency is increased which allows a reduction in the amount of applied fertilizer, reducing production costs and also lessening the potential of groundwater pollution caused by the fertilizer leaching. The amount and concentration of the applied nutrients can be adapted, regulated and monitored to meet the actual nutritional requirement of the crop throughout the growing season.

Fertigation also saves energy and labour and increases application timing flexibility because nutrients can be applied to the soil when crop or soil conditions would not otherwise allow entry into the field with conventional equipment.

Yara Phosyn has a range of products for use in fertigation systems. Manufactured from the highest quality raw materials, each one is carefully formulated to prevent precipitation or clogging of systems.
