Result with fertigation in arable farming
The climate has changed enormously in recent years. We are increasingly faced with severe drought and little or no availability of fresh water. Fertigation is a possible solution to those problems. Van Iperen has been conducting trials in the high-yielding potato, onion and flower bulbs for 3 years now.
Fertigation is a combination of watering and fertilization. The water is supplied and fertilizers are added to the water via a dosing system. It eventually ends up in the crop via a main pipe and drip hoses.
Fertigation and arable farming – potatoes
At the moment there are a number of customers who now apply fertigation. We guide these customers very intensively. We also have 2 large tests. In the video below, Jan Willem Spaargaren and Leendert Koster tell more about the trial in seed potatoes.
Fertigation and arable farming – onions
There is a large trial in the onion crop at the Rusthoeve in Colijnsplaat.
We are also conducting a large, joint trial at Franzen Agriculture.
Fertigation has been applied on approximately 10 hectares of onions. Despite the
During a dry year, a large additional yield was achieved with fertigation.
Watch the video below with the results.
