What’s Fertigation?
Fertilizer + Irrigation = Fertigation. Whether you water by hand, use a sprinkler system, or a drip irrigation system, you can deliver fertilized water directly to your plants. Fertigation is a simple and efficient way to provide nutrients to your garden while saving time and water.
Which Fertilizers Are Best for Fertigation?
Choosing the best fertilizers for fertigation depends on your irrigation system and your plants' needs. Water-soluble or liquid fertilizers are diluted and can be applied either through foliar feeding (sprayed on leaves) or directly to the soil.
Fertilizer Injectors for Drip Irrigation
If you’re using a drip irrigation system or sprinklers, consider upgrading to the Chapin Hydrofeed Fertilizer Injector. These systems require a minimum water pressure of 40 psi to operate efficiently. It’s important to use a backflow preventer, like the Vacuum Breaker, before the injector to prevent contamination of your water supply.
