used to add additional nutrients or to fulfill nutrient deficiencies in the plant tissue. The fertigation applies the nutrients
exactly and uniformly to the wetted root volume, where the active roots are concentrated, which increases the
efficiency of the fertilizers. It is gaining popularity due to high crop yield and cost-effectiveness due to less labor
involvement. The market is further driven by minimized nutrient leaching losses which has gained popularity among
farmers to increase their crop quality and quantity.
Fertigation is a process where fertilizers are dissolved and distributed along with water in the irrigation system. It is
used to increase the crop productivity by providing adequate nutrients to the plant tissues. Increasing population and
rising demand for crops are driving the growth of the market. Factors such as increased crop production along with
protection against drought like situation is an advantage served by this method. Moreover, it is gaining popularity
due to its excellent efficiency of nutrient utilization. Additionally, it is gaining acceptance in the regions where labor
is scarce and medium or large areas need to be irrigated with minimum waste of water and time.
