How should fertilizer requirements be specified for procurement?
For purchasing, specify the product: nutrient analysis and guaranteed content, form (soluble, liquid, granular), solubility and purity grade for fertigation, chelate type where relevant, packaging, certification, batch documentation and delivery terms. That is a product specification — distinct from a crop-nutrition recommendation.
Where this sits in fertigation equipment procurement
Fertigation equipment covers injection (venturi, dosing pump or dosing unit), stock tanks, EC/pH control and the dosing channels needed for the crop recipe — the channel count and injection accuracy required drive most of the cost difference between offers.
Typical procurement searches this answers: fertigation equipment · fertigation system for greenhouse · dosing unit vs venturi injector · EC pH control fertigation
