Precision Fertigation™

Meet Precision Fertigation™

Controlling what you give to your field every day, and not applying your entire season's fertiliser in one go has many benefits. It allows you to maximise yields and reduce the cost of nutrients by providing plants with what it needs and when it is needed: not sooner or later. Using the drip system for applying nutrients reduces labour and equipment costs associated with traditional ways to apply nutrients. It also allows you to manage risks and reduce losses caused by falling crop prices, diseases, or unpredicted weather patterns.

Nourish your Crops from the Inside

Fertigation™ is a game of quantities, nutrient combinations and precise timings.

Precision Fertigation™ is the optimal root-zone management tool, delivering just the right combination of water and nutrients directly to the roots of each plant, according to the development cycles of your crops.

It protects your fertiliser investment by letting you tweak dosages on demand, in response to setbacks like market fluctuations and climate changes. And by keeping doses small and well-timed with rain patterns, it protects you from leaching and groundwater contamination.

So wherever you are, you can use a precision fertigation system to secure higher yields; better-quality crops; reduced leaching; reduced volatility and run-off; and a better return on your fertiliser investment.

USE CASES

Use Cases for Precision Fertigation™

Precision fertigation™ increases crop quality, no matter the crop, climate or region. It’s ideal for:

MANAGING PLANT NUTRIENTS IN TROPICAL CLIMATES

If your region gets plenty of rain, water won’t be an issue. But plant nutrition is a different story. Precision fertigation™ puts you ahead of your competitors by ensuring higher efficiency of your fertiliSer usage resulting in higher yields and better returns for your agricultural inputs.

PROTECTED CROPS

If you’re running a greenhouse, you’re used to controlling every drop of water. But precision Fertigation™ goes further by sending a precise mix of water and nutrients through the same delivery system, on an automated, personalised schedule.

ORCHARDS AND OPEN FIELDS

Fertilisers are one of your major inputs. Precision Fertigation™ is a smart way to get better results without increasing your input costs. By delivering nutrients directly to the root-zone, it’ll lower your costs, increase your productivity and raise your crop’s profitability.
