Landscape Water Management
Did you know that most landscapes are overwatered by at least 50%? As a result, landscape water management has become vital for golf courses, landscapes, sports fields, parks, and horticulture. As a result, many people have implemented irrigation systems to help with water management. But why do landscapes have an irrigation system? They may believe that irrigation systems are making the landscape green and grow. But water does not make the plant green or grow. Fertilizers make the plant green and grow. Because of this, implementing an irrigation system is only beneficial if one implements a fertigation system as well to fertilizer the landscape.
Fertigation is the best way to fertilize a landscape. Fertigation will reduce water use over 50% while improving the landscape quality. So, how is a fertigation system able to do this? A Fertigation System is a device connected to an irrigation system used to inject liquid fertilizer and other plant and soil additives into the irrigation water to feed the landscape, golf course, sports field or agriculture area.
Fertigation systems reduce fertilizer and water use because it feeds lightly with each irrigation cycle and feeds the plant, root, and soil. As a result, fertigation will reduce water use over 50% while improving the landscape quality. It feeds the plant and soil better and grows better roots for the plants. Did you know that better roots reduce water use and reduces chemical use, and improves quality? Because of this, fertigation has become critical for proper landscape water management to take place.
Fertigation Systems
Did you know that fertigation systems are automatic? Because it is automatic, it is more uniform and is reduces fertilizer and water use by over 50%. Once again, helping with landscape water management. Most people will over water their landscape and underfeed with fertilizer. But when you have a fertigation system this will no longer be a concern. Are you someone that currently uses a dry fertilizer on your land? Perhaps you are noticing that your land is not getting the proper nutrition it needs. That is because dry fertilizers are leached, washed, below the root zone and lost never to be used by the plant. Over 80% of the fertilizer is lost, which means you are expending an enormous amount of time and money on fertilizer that is not benefiting your land.
It is no secret that automation is the future for all industries. Many years ago farmers and golf superintendents dragged hoses around and used sprinklers to irrigate. Now every farm, golf course, and sports field has an automatic underground irrigation system. Which can automatically irrigate the farm or golf course. Overall, saving an enormous amount of money on fertilizer, equipment, and labor costs.
Costs of Fertigation System
Are you currently spending a ton of money fertilizing your farm annually? Perhaps you are beginning to realize that you are losing money and your land is not benefiting as it should. When this is the case, fertigation systems can save your land and the money you have been losing. A professional grade fertigation system for agriculture – Large 200 acre to over 500 acres can cost $5,000 to $10,000 and save the farm $10,000 to over $50,000 annually.
When you use a dry fertilizer or liquid fertilizer you can spend between $25,000 to over $100,000 on fertilizer annually. A sports field which is about 2 acres would use a fertigation system that would cost $2,000 to $4,000 and save $5,000 to $10,000 annually. Larger sports complexes would use a larger system and save a similar ratio. Landscapes also have a similar cost and savings ratio. As you can see, fertigation systems save a substantial amount of money and you will see how your land is getting the nutrients it needs.
