How the Fertigation Manager™ Works
At the core of this system is a panel-mounted touchscreen computer powered by intelligent software that allows growers to monitor and adjust irrigation and fertigation parameters in real time. This smart fertigation system ensures that water and nutrients are delivered exactly when and where they are needed, optimizing plant growth while minimizing resource waste.
Irrigation and Fertilization Control
- Automated Nutrient Delivery – The system injects fertilizers directly into pressurized water lines, ensuring accurate and uniform nutrient distribution.
- Multiple Irrigation Start Options – Allows growers to customize watering schedules based on environmental conditions or set time intervals.
- EC and pH-Based Fertigation – Adjusts nutrient delivery dynamically based on real-time pH and EC readings, ensuring balanced soil and nutrient conditions.
Expandable and Scalable System
- Manages 4-12 Injectors – Suitable for small to large-scale operations.
- Controls Up to 12 Irrigation Valves – Easily expandable up to 100 circuits for extensive agricultural applications.
- 20 Fertilizer and 20 Irrigation Programs – Fully customizable for various crops, soil types, and climate conditions.
Advanced Monitoring and Control
- EC Meter – Measures nutrient concentration levels, preventing over- or under-fertilization.
- pH Meter – Ensures optimal pH balance for efficient nutrient uptake.
- Water Flow Meter – Monitors water usage, improving irrigation efficiency and conservation efforts.
By automating key irrigation and fertilization processes, the Fertigation Manager™ helps growers maintain optimal growing conditions with minimal manual intervention.
