Abstract: Fertigation increases efficient use of water and fertilizers, produces higher yields, improves quality of the production and protects environment. To ensure uniform distribution of water and fertilizers, the irrigation system must be properly designed and operated.
This publication presents in abbreviated form the fertilization recommendations for vegetable crops based on soil tests performed by the IFAS Extension Soil Testing Laboratory (ESTL). It contains the basic information from which ESTL soil-test reports and fertilization recommendations are generated.
Fertigation-Chemigation are regular and widely accepted practices for fertilization and plant protection under protected agriculture. With fertigation, the nutrients in the form og soluble fertilizers anticipated to most crops needs according to their stage of development, are applied with the irrigation water.

Multi-K™, Haifa’s potassium nitrate, is a unique source of potassium by its nutritional value, fertilization efficiency, application considerations and environmental impact. Multi-K™ contains 100% plant macronutrients - potassium (K) and nitrate-nitrogen (N-NO3). Plants absorb the nutrients from Multi-K™ rapidly and efficiently, in a balanced manner. Multi-K™ potassium nitrate increases yields and improves quality in vegetables, field crops, fruit trees and flowers.
Multi-K™ is a necessity for chloride-sensitive crops.
The presence of nitrate in Multi-K™ enables the plant to minimize its uptake of chloride,
whenever this damaging anion is present in the soil solution or in the irrigation water.
Multi-K™ potassium nitrate is available in a variety of compositions, to suit specific crop requirements and growth environments.
Multi-K™ is suitable for Nutrigation™ (Fertigation) and foliar fertilization.
Multi-K™ Prills are ideal for direct soil application. Special grades of Multi-K™ potassium nitrate meet the requirements of greenhouses, soilless systems and hydroponics.
