Fertigation Basics
How water and fertilizer delivery share the same control logic in modern irrigation systems.
Fertilizer Compatibility Reminders
| Topic | Practice |
|---|---|
| Tank separation | Keep incompatible products in separate stock lines |
| Acid line | Dedicated acid dosing for pH correction |
| Flush | End-of-cycle water flush through lines |
| Filtration | Protect injectors with upstream filters |
What Fertigation Means in Projects
Fertigation is fertilizer application through the irrigation hydraulic system—timing and dose are controlled, not hand-mixed per shift.
- Stock tanks → dosing pumps → mixing → mainline
- Programs tied to valve zones or crop blocks
- Optional EC/pH feedback loop
Scheduled vs EC/pH Control
- Scheduled / ratio: fixed recipes per irrigation window
- EC/pH loop: sensors adjust dosing during the run
- Choose based on crop value and operator skill
Integration with Pump & Valves
- Pump runs only when a zone and fertigation window are active
- Interlocks prevent dry fertilizer injection
- Alarms on tank low level or dosing fault
Technical reference for project discussions—pair with fertigation product family and water–fertilizer solution.
