Fertigation Systems
A fertigation system injects dissolved fertilisers into irrigation water under controlled EC and pH, delivering plant nutrition precisely and efficiently in commercial protected and open-field crops.
Is fertigation only for greenhouses?
No — high-value open-field crops (peppers, berries, avocados) benefit enormously. A buyer submits one private brief through the RFQ builder. A fertigation system injects dissolved fertilisers into irrigation water under controlled EC and pH, delivering plant nutrition precisely and efficiently in commercial protected and open-field crops. A dedicated sourcing specialist normalises it into a single technical specification, issues it to qualified international manufacturers, integrators and EPC contractors, and returns offers that can be compared line by line on the same scope, lead time and delivery terms.
Independent, supplier-neutral guidance. Vendor identities, price bands and shortlists are released only through the RFQ flow.
Role in the project
Fertigation is the yield multiplier — precise nutrient delivery is what turns drip irrigation into a high-productivity system.
Typical applications
- Greenhouse vegetables and berries
- Open-field high-value crops
- Nurseries
- Cannabis
Selection criteria
Venturi, dosing pumps or full mixing tank with recirculation.
Sensor accuracy and control frequency drive uniformity.
Engineering considerations
Source water RO / softening / dilution built into the head.
Commercial considerations
USD 15,000–150,000+ depending on scale and complexity.
Procurement considerations
Injection membranes and dosing pumps require scheduled replacement.
Common mistakes
- •No water analysis before fertigation head selection
FAQ
Before you shortlist suppliers
- Understand the buying process first: what agricultural procurement means and how RFQs are compared .
- Awarding one turnkey contract instead of separate trades? Compare EPC contractor bids for agricultural projects on identical scope.
- For processing and grading scope, see packing house cost, sizing and certification requirements .
