Irrigation nutrients

Characteristics of nutrients for irrigation

Irrigation fertilisers, as mentioned above, are applied to crops by irrigation. This way of fertilizing plants is known as fertigation or nutrigation, and is one of the most widely used fertilizer techniques worldwide since its discovery in the 1930s. 

One of the advantages of irrigation fertilization over other types of nutrients is that it is much more efficient. Thus, by using in-water nutrients, it is possible to experience increased yields using smaller amounts of nutrients. This can eventually save money in the long run. Part of the nutrient utilization that occurs with irrigation nutrients is that there is less nutrient loss through leaching. 

The use of the nutrients directly on the irrigation also facilitates the fertilisation process. In this way, the application of this type of fertiliser is much more convenient and the labour savings are obvious. By using this type of nutrient, it is possible to use fewer resources, be more efficient and save labour time.

Many experts agree that with the use of fertilisers in irrigation it is easier to adjust the nutrient dosage to the crop, which avoids certain risks. Firstly, fertilisation is less likely to occur and it is more difficult to fall short of the required nutrient ration for a plant. 

On top of all this, the use of irrigation nutrients also improves nutrient uptake by plants. Nutrients, being in constant moisture, are more easily absorbed by indoor and outdoor crops. This can ultimately improve the final yield of a vegetable garden. 

Best irrigation nutrients

In Experiencia Natural it is possible to find the best selection of irrigation nutrients for all types of crops. In this section, it is possible to find the best manufacturers in the market, those who use the best raw materials and the best techniques to obtain their products. 

In the first place, the mineral nutrient for irrigation Ata PK 13-14 stands out. This is a fertiliser product especially designed to cover the nutritional needs of indoor and outdoor crops during the flowering phase. This product is highly concentrated and has the right concentration of potassium and phosphorus to encourage the development of large, aromatic flowers. 

In addition to mineral nutrients, there are also organic irrigation nutrients. This is the case with Mother Earth Organic, a product that is also intended for flowering, but which uses a completely organic formula to provide nutrients to the crops. In this case, compost tea is the protagonist of the Mother Earth Organic formula, which provides the exact amount of nutrients needed to develop flowers with pronounced organoleptic properties.
