Some automated systems only manage the nutrient dosing equipment while other systems are capable of integrating irrigation scheduling with nutrient dosing activities. An automated fertigation system can be integrated with the facility’s environmental control system where it can be monitored and managed from a centralized user interface along with all the other controlled processes within the grow operation.
Fertigation systems vary with each application and should be capable of adapting to the design and operation of the overall facility. This may include controls and monitoring for:
- Tank levels
- EC
- pH
- Acid/base dosing equipment
- Water temperature
- Soil moisture levels
- Leaching rates (overdrain)
- Nutrient dosing equipment
- Pump controls
- Irrigation zone valves
- Line purging
- Recirculation management
- Water treatment equipment (filters, pasteurizers, ozone, UV, etc.)
