Intensive agriculture and fertigation: boosting production while preserving the environment

Intensive agriculture involves a greater use of cultivated lands to achieve maximum yield. This maximization is achieved through the utilization of intensive agricultural practices, such as increased use of fertilizers and insecticides, abundant irrigation, soil treatment with heavy machinery, planting high-yield species, or expanding into new areas, among others.

Intensive Agriculture and Fertigation

Fertigation is a technique applied in intensive agriculture to simultaneously apply fertilizers and irrigation water through drip irrigation systems. This technique allows for precise application of the necessary nutrients for crop growth, thus improving fertilization efficiency and reducing water usage.

It is essential to employ sustainable agricultural practices to minimize environmental impact and ensure long-term food production.

Producing More with Less: All About ITC Dosing Pumps

One environmentally respectful agricultural practice is the use of ITC dosing pumps, which preserve soil health while reducing fertilizer consumption and increasing production. Among the main advantages are:

• Efficient fertilization: ITC dosing pumps provide precise amounts of nutrients needed for crop growth through irrigation water, resulting in resource savings due to process precision.
• Reduced fertilizer consumption: Fertilizer consumption is reduced as nutrients are evenly and simultaneously supplied with fertigation. Unlike other processes that may not balance fertilizer application with other products, dosing pumps deliver nutrients directly to the root zone, ensuring each part of the soil receives the necessary amount.
• Improved crop productivity: The aforementioned procedure leads to faster crop growth, thereby increasing productivity.
  Cost savings: Advanced technology in dosing pumps saves effort and costs by automating processes.
• Dosage optimization: Easily programmable fertigation of crops ensures precise and controllable dosing, minimizing soil and groundwater contamination.
  Soil health preservation: Carefully dosed fertilization helps preserve crop soil health by reducing contaminants.
