What are fertilizers and how to use for irrigation

Fertilizers are the minerals elements that we incorporate to the irrigation water, once dissolved, what we get is the nutrient solution.

To make this nutrient solution water chemistry must be taken into account for subtracting the nutrients already present in composition, since once dissolved salts, (dissociated) there is no way to differentiate one molecule such as magnesium, that were present in the water from the other one that we had fed through a fertilizer.

Adopted a particular ion concentration for each phase of cultivation, and make corrections based on water supply, the fertigation equipment will allow to remain constant the water and fertilizers adjustment.

How to reduce costs?

The efficiency / cost relationship is of vital importance, both agronomically and economically, and the system will allow optimization of both water and fertilizer, indeed increasingly expensive, and in an environmental way it can prevent contamination aquifer, whenever the circuit is performed for treatment / use of drains.
