Fertigation is a method of fertilizer application in which fertilizer is incorporated within the irrigation water by the drip system in the roots. In this system fertilizer solution is distributed evenly in irrigation. The availability of nutrients is very high therefore the efficiency is more.It minimises fertiliser and pesticide usage and reduces nutrient losses. Through this method, nearly 80-90% efficiency can be maintained. Fertigation can reduce greenhouse gases.
