ICL Growing Solutions offers a wide range of high-performance solutions, setting the standard in fertigation fertilizer technology.
What is fertigation?
Fertigation is the application of fertilizers through irrigation systems allowing for precise and efficient delivery of nutrients directly to the root zone of crops. It is widely used in US industrial agriculture, particularly in regions with extensive irrigation infrastructure such as California’s Central Valley, Arizona and parts of the Midwest. We see fertigation commonly employed across a diverse range of crops including fruits, vegetables, and row crops like corn and soybeans. Fertigation is a highly effective and flexible tool for controlling the placement and timing of nutrient application. It allows for precise nutrient delivery directly to the root zone, optimizing nutrient uptake efficiency, especially in high-value crops where maximizing yield and quality is critical.
It offers several advantages, including:
- precise nutrient application
- efficient use of water and fertilizers
- the ability to tailor nutrient delivery to crop needs.
Mixing water–soluble fertilizers with irrigation water enables precise nutrition to be delivered directly to the plant, aligning with the soil fertility status and growth stage of any crop.
Are there different kinds of fertigation solutions?
Our unique range of products vary from straight single-fertigation, all-in-one nutrient solutions, and high-value acidifying NPKs. They are designed to enhance nutrient uptake, avoid clogging of drippers and pipes, and prevent deficiencies even at high demand stages of growth. The most common types of fertigation we see are:
- Water-Soluble Fertilizers: These fertilizers dissolve easily in water and are commonly used in fertigation systems due to their compatibility with irrigation equipment. They allow for precise nutrient application and are available in various formulations tailored to specific crop needs.
- Liquid Fertilizers: Liquid fertilizers, such as liquid nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium solutions, are often used in fertigation systems. They provide a convenient way to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting efficient uptake by plants.
The benefits of fertigation fertilizer technology:
- Nutrients are applied at the exactly the rate needed by the plant in its actual growth stage
- Prevents deficiencies even at periods of high nutrients uptake.
- Promotes uniform nutrient applicaiton
- Provides nutrients on demand so growers can respond to environmental changes that may affect the plant nutrients requirements profile.
- Reduces soil salinity, sodicity or acidity.
- Fertigation can be used for all types of irrigation systems and growth conditions
