Do you know about automatic fertilizer applicators? Compared with the traditional model, the water-fertilizer integrated intelligent fertilizer applicator has achieved a revolutionary change in water and fertilizer management, that is, the transformation from channel water delivery to pipeline water delivery, the transformation from irrigating land to irrigating crops, and the transformation from soil fertilization to crop fertilization. The automatic fertilization technology can be used to evenly and regularly infiltrate crops into the root growth and development zone of plants according to the soil nutrient requirements or the fertilizer requirements and characteristics of different crops and different growth periods. Compared with traditional ground irrigation and soil fertilization, the advantages of water-fertilizer integration are very obvious. Using an automatic fertilizer applicator, the fertilizer is dissolved in water and directly transported to the roots of crops in the form of micro-irrigation through pipes, which greatly reduces the leaching and soil consolidation of fertilizers, and the utilization rate of phosphate fertilizers can also be increased to 40%-50%. The nutrient supply of crops has become more efficient. Automatic fertilizer applicators also have many advantages.

1. Improve water utilization rate

The utilization rate of drip irrigation water can reach 95%, which saves 30% to 50% of water compared with ground irrigation, and can reach about 80% for some crops, and saves 10% to 20% of water compared with sprinkler irrigation.

2. Save fertilizer

The automatic fertilizer applicator can deliver water and nutrients directly to the roots in a quantitative and regular manner, which improves the utilization rate of fertilizer.

3. Save labor

The automatic fertilizer applicator is supplied with water by a pipe network, which is easy to operate and easy to control automatically, saving labor. At the same time, irrigation is local irrigation, and most of the surface remains dry, reducing the growth of weeds and the working time of weeding.

4. Salting and salt suppression

After the automatic fertilizer applicator drips water into the soil, the soil salt dissolves and spreads to the left and right and downward, and the salt is sprinkled to the edge of the wet front, while the wet center forms a desalination zone, which is conducive to root growth. Because of the hydrotropism of crop roots, 90% are concentrated in the desalination zone. Traditional flood irrigation will raise the groundwater level, causing the salty groundwater to move beyond the surface, resulting in saline-alkali soil that cannot be cultivated. However, the drip irrigation of the automatic fertilizer applicator can reduce the groundwater level and play a role in inhibiting salt.

5. Reduce pests and diseases

The automatic fertilizer applicator can reduce the surrounding air humidity, reduce the amount of pesticide residues in vegetables, and improve the quality of vegetables.
