Fertigation is the application of fertilizers, soil amendments, or other water soluble products through an irrigation system.
Low nutrient use efficiency
Nutrient Efficiency (%)
Cause of low efficiency
Nitrogen 30-50 Immobilization, volatilization, denitrification, Leaching
Phosphorus 15-20 Fixation in soils Al – P, Fe – P, Ca – P
Potassium 70-80 Fixation in clay - latticesSulphur 8-10 Immobilization, Leaching with
water Micro nutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, B)
1-2 Fixation in soils
