 Fertigation and its Benefits
''Fertigation'' is the application of fertilizers, soil amendments, or other water-soluble products through an irrigation system. Chemigation, a related and sometimes interchangeable term, is the application of chemicals through an irrigation system.
Fertigation has been used extensively in commercial agriculture and horticulture and is starting to be used in general landscape applications as dispenser units (fertilizer injectors) become more reliable, easy to use and lower in cost. This has made the product more attainable for the Plumeria Grower.
Benefits of fertigation over traditional broadcast or drop fertilizing methods include:
*Increased nutrient absorption by plants
*Reduction in fertilizer and chemicals needed
*Reduced leaching to the water table.
