Fertigation is a method of applying fertilizers that has been widely used abroad for many years and has recently seen significant growth and adoption in Greece. This technique integrates the application of fertilizers through irrigation systems, aiming for both cost savings and more effective fertilization of plants, with immediate and impressive results.
Fertigation involves the precise combination of quantities and nutrients, applied at the optimal times. The process is localized, specifically targeting the soil near the root system of each plant, leading to excellent outcomes. It represents an environmentally friendly approach to fertilization, safeguarding water resources while ensuring high efficiency. This method is effective for applying nearly all types of fertilizers (liquid, water-soluble, or granular) as it directs the nutrients straight to the plant’s root system. Consequently, nutrient absorption is maximized with minimal losses, and the plants can fully utilize the elements available in the soil water.
