What is Fertigation?

Fertigation is the process of injecting fertilisers, nutrients, or soil conditioners directly into an irrigation system. This method ensures that plants receive the exact amount of nutrients required, evenly distributed through water flow.

Using Dosatron water-powered dosing pumps, fertilisers are automatically mixed at precise ratios, regardless of changes in water pressure or flow. This results in uniform nutrient delivery, improved plant growth, and reduced manual labour.

Why Choose Dosatron for Fertigation?

  • Non-electric operation powered by water flow

  • Accurate and consistent dosing ratios

  • Reduces fertiliser waste and over-application

  • Easy installation into existing irrigation systems

  • Low maintenance and long service life

  • Suitable for a wide range of liquid fertilisers and additives

Common Fertigation Applications

  • Open Field Agriculture (Broadacre Crops)

  • Greenhouses and Nurseries

  • Hydroponic growing systems

  • Turf and landscaping irrigation

  • Orchards and Vineyards

  • Market Gardens and Intensive Farming

How It Works

Installed directly into the water line, the Dosatron unit uses the flow of water to activate a dosing piston. This mechanism draws concentrate from a chemical tank and injects it into the water stream at a set ratio.

The result is a consistent, proportional mix of fertiliser and water delivered evenly across the entire irrigation network, ensuring every plant receives the same treatment.

  • Improved crop yield and plant health

  • Precise nutrient control

  • Reduced labour and manual mixing

  • Consistent results across all irrigation zones

  • Environmentally efficient with minimal runoff

  • Scalable for small farms to large agricultural operations
