Drip irrigation combined with nutrient application significantly differs from the traditional application of granules to the soil. The main requirement for the applied preparations is complete solubility in water at working temperature and the absence of ballast sediment. Any insoluble suspensions can quickly disable emitters and clog filtration stations. Furthermore, high-quality water-soluble salt forms have a low salt index, which prevents chemical burns to the root system and soil salinization in the wetting zone.
Agronomic practice shows that the best results are achieved by using simple and complex mineral salts of a high degree of purification.
Potassium nitrate is one of the most sought-after components for fertigation at the stage of active fruiting. It contains nitrogen in an easily assimilable nitrate form and a high concentration of potassium. The product promotes the accumulation of sugars in fruits, improves their marketable appearance, color, and taste qualities, and also increases plant drought resistance. The absence of chlorine makes it safe for sensitive crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, berries, and grapes.
An indispensable fertilizer for forming a strong cell wall and developing a powerful root system. Calcium moves poorly through plant tissues, therefore its constant supply through drip irrigation is critically important. Calcium nitrate prevents the development of blossom end rot in vegetable crops, increases fruit shelf life and transportability, and also improves soil structure.
A concentrated two-component fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium in soluble form. It is ideal for use at early stages of growth to stimulate root system development, as well as during the flowering and bud-setting period. Monopotassium phosphate is quickly absorbed by plant tissues and contains no sodium or ballast impurities.
Magnesium is the central element of the chlorophyll molecule, without which a full photosynthesis process is impossible. Magnesium sulfate quickly eliminates magnesium starvation (interveinal chlorosis) and saturates plants with sulfur. This fertilizer is especially effective on light sandy soils during periods of intensive green mass growth.
Carbamide serves as an excellent source of amide nitrogen for building vegetative mass at the initial stages of development. Unlike ordinary granular urea, the special purified form for fertigation does not contain biuret in dangerous concentrations and dissolves without sediment formation, quickly filling the nitrogen deficiency.
To achieve maximum effect from fertigation, it is important to follow the rules of chemical compatibility. The main rule is to never mix calcium fertilizers with phosphates or sulfates in the same stock tank, as this leads to the formation of insoluble sediment (gypsum or calcium phosphate). Such elements should be applied sequentially or using a two-tank system. After each cycle of supplying the nutrient solution, the drip irrigation system must be flushed with clean water for 15-20 minutes.
The use of water-soluble fertilizers through a drip irrigation system is the most effective and economically justified way to manage plant nutrition. A well-chosen complex of minerals allows regulating crop development phases, increasing stress resistance, and obtaining consistently high yields. To ensure irrigation equipment lasts a long time, choose only specialized raw materials of a high degree of purification.
