Pivots and laterals use sprinklers that move automatically, providing an efficient and economical alternative for crop irrigation.
In this technical article, you will find how to optimize fertigation and chemigation using automotive irrigation systems, improving both resource efficiency and crop health.
To achieve this, the article delves into the types of automotive irrigation systems and basic concepts such as chemigation, which involves the application of soluble chemicals through the irrigation system for equipment maintenance and agricultural production improvement, or fertigation, which involves the application of nutrients through the irrigation system, optimizing plant absorption and improving fertilizer efficiency.
The types of injection equipment and equipment calibration are also discussed as crucial topics to ensure the proper application of chemicals and fertilizers.
