Soil pH and Nutrient Availability

 

Nutrivant Drip NPK™ -   antiblocking

 

Nutrivant Drip – formulae range

 

 Nutrivant Drip formulations

The low pH gives the possibility to order formulas with Ca:
   *19-19-19+3CaO
   *17-8-27+3CaO
   *11-8-35+ 3 CaO

Neutralization Power of Novacid

 

According to our experience it is necessary to have 0.5eq of Bicarbonate (HCO3-)
in water in order to maintain the pH at 6.0±0.5
 

Nutrivant Drip NPK’s in Turkey is used for the last four years in processing tomatoes.
In 2008 the area is 1200 Ha .. It is now expanding to orchards
 

 

Why fertigate ?

 

 

 

Fertigation – “Spoon feeding” 

 

Fertigation allows nutrients application to plants in the correct dosage and at the time appropriate for a specific stage of plant growth:
* Small amounts of fertilizer early in the crop's season
* Dosage is increased as fruit load and nutrient demands grow
* Decreased dosage as plants approach the end of the crop's cycle
* This gives plants the needed amounts of fertilizer throughout the growth cycle

      

Consumption

• Not monotonic - sharp changes
  at critical physiological stages.
