Fertigation

The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably however chemigation is generally a more controlled and regulated process due to the nature of the chemicals used.

Chemigation often involves insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, some of which pose health threat to humans, animals, and the environment.

Naturally occurring nitrogen (N2) is a diatomic molecule which makes up approximately 80% of the Earth's atmosphere.

The simplest type of fertigation system consists of a tank with a pump, distribution pipes, capillaries, and a dripper pen.

Because of the potential risk of contamination in the potable (drinking) water supply, a backflow prevention device is required for most fertigation systems.
