FLO-GRO Fertigation Systems
What is Fertigation?
Fertigation
is the application of fertilizers through an irrigation system.
Fertigation
is a refined, simple solution to balance on a consistent basis nutrients
in the soil. Fertigation will efficiently maintain an optimal supply of
specific nutrients, particularly in sandy soils that have little native
fertility and in addition, reduce nutrient leaching and volatilization
normally associated with time release granular fertilizers, which at best
will yield a 40-50% absorption rate.
Foliar
feeding with a fertigation system will yield a 95%
absorption rate where as time release granular fertilizers at best will
yield a 40-50% absorption rate.
Plant
stress is greatly reduced by eliminating the feast or famine of
traditional fertilizers.
With
Flo-Gro
Fertigation Systems fertilizer
is metered out in frequent light doses. The idea is to apply nutrients in
a steady, modest rate to eliminate the feast or famine effect of time
release, granular fertilizers.
More
consistent growth, better root structures and more disease and pest
tolerance are added benefits of fertigation. Fertigation defeats the
excessive growth that follows heavy fertilizations and the slow growth at
the end of conventional fertilization cycles. This greater efficiency and
health can lead to less overall fertilizer and chemicals normally required
for maintaining healthy lawn and landscaping.
Professional
Results - Feeds agriculture
products a consistent low dose of custom blended, low salt fertilizers
designed for the particular soils. EVERY TIME YOU WATER!
Better
Nutrient Absorption - Plants
are fed through the leaves and roots with a liquid diet that is available
immediately. 95% absorption rate
compared to a 40-50%
absorption rate for granular fertilizers.
Enhances
Plant Health – Steady
feeding provides steady growth. This
increases disease and insect resistance, and promotes drought tolerance.
Reduces
Pesticide and Herbicide requirements.
Eliminates
surge growth - Associated with
high rate, slow release fertilizer applications, which cause plant stress
and poor health.
Eliminates
- Overfeeding, waste, and runoff
hazards.
Injection
capabilities - A wide variety
of products can by applied this way.
