Sensor Calibration and Data Validation Protocols in Fertigation Automation
Fertigation automation is a sophisticated process in which precise sensor data guides every irrigation and nutrient-delivery decision. The dependability of smart greenhouse control systems relies heavily on properly calibrated sensors that monitor electrical conductivity (EC), pH, flow rates, and substrate moisture content. Uncalibrated sensors can cause significant measurement errors, disrupting nutrient balance and affecting crop […]
Fertigation Facts Every Grower Should Know 2023
What is fertigation? Fertigation is applying fertilizer and other essential nutrients to crops by mixing them with water and then delivering the solution to the plant roots through irrigation. This technique can be applied using either sprinklers or drip irrigation systems and often offers increased efficiency in nutrient uptake. Fertigation pumps supply plants with smaller […]
How Fertigation Helps Greenhouse Grower’s Crop Production
Technology is quickly changing the face of agriculture, particularly in the greenhouse industry with something called ‘Fertigation‘. This new technology is lowering the costs of production, energy, and fertilizer and increasing the overall yields of vegetable crops and floriculture. But this new world isn’t without its challenges with more competition going after large buyers, […]
