| Fertigation vs.Granular Fertilisers |
| |
| Fertigation is the best, most cost-effective and
efficient way to deliver nutrients to grass, plants and
ornamentals. Supplying grass and plants with small,
precise amounts of fertiliser through an irrigation
system allows plants to thrive in a constantly
nutrient-rich environment. Fertigation keeps the
nutrients readily available to the plant resulting in
strong root growth and better plant
health. |
 |
Granular fertilisers create an over-saturated
nutrient zone at the top layer of the soil causing the
roots to grow sideways and not downwards where they can
find more nutrients and water in leaner or drought
periods. Infrequent applications of granular fertilisers
substantially over-feed your lawn, which then must
endure a period of near starvation until the next
chemical release or treatment in several weeks. This
sequence of peaks and valleys is stressful for plants,
weaken plant cell structure and invite damage by
insects, drought and pests.
