Fertigation control

Controlling fertiliser products allows us to optimise concentrations and nutrient ratios.

Fertiliser must only be applied when the plants need it and their roots are ready to absorb the nutrients. Fertiliser application must coincide with the moment when the roots are most active and the soil is humid.. Fertilisation can be performed at three different moments: before, during or after seeding. This system for application was adapted, giving rise to the practice of fertigation.

Electrical conductivity in agriculture: Importance and applications

Electrical conductivity is a parameter that indicates a material's ability to conduct electricity.

Electrical conductivity control in fertigation

Fertigation is currently one of the main ways to provide crops with nutrients. However, the quality of the fertigation requires rigorous control in order to take full advantage of each drop of water and each gramme of fertiliser used.

Water pH Control

Proper automation of this control ensures a completely uniform process, as the chemical characteristics will not be affected by differences in the flow rates in different sections of the irrigation system or those caused by the heterogeneity of the water.

Fertigation control

Flow rate-proportional volumetric fertigation

The best way of fertilising is by performing fertigation that is proportional to the flow rate. Fertiliser is applied continuously and steadily throughout the irrigation cycle.

Fertigation control

Volumetric proportional fertigation

Volumetric proportional fertigation is an advanced technique that involves the instantaneous and proportional dosing of fertilizers after each volume of water applied.

Fertigation control

Discontinuous volumetric fertigation

When performing fertigation in a volumetric and discontinuous manner, we fertilise periodically, increasing the frequency with which we provide the plants with the necessary nutrients.

Single application fertigation: Is it really effective?

Single-application fertigation provides plants with all the nutrients that they need for a specific time period all in one go, during the first irrigation cycle.
