Greenhouse Fertilization Systems
Greenhouse fertilization systems are one of the technological applications widely used in greenhouse agriculture in Turkey. These systems are designed to provide the nutrients plants need during the growth process in a controlled manner. Greenhouses in Turkey are generally located in regions with different climatic conditions, therefore various greenhouse fertilization systems are preferred. In our country, various technological solutions such as hydroponic systems, fertilization methods on soil, drip irrigation systems and automation applications are generally used among these methods.
Why is Fertilization Important in Greenhouses?
Fertilization in greenhouses is a critical factor for ensuring the healthy growth of plants and obtaining sufficient yield. Fertilization protects and increases soil fertility by providing the nutrients necessary for plants. This process supports the rapid growth of plants, making them more resilient and more resistant to diseases. At the same time, it increases product quality and improves features such as color, taste, and aroma. When correct fertilization is applied, environmental impacts can also be reduced and sustainable agricultural practices are supported. Performing fertilization at the right time and in the right amounts makes efficient greenhouse agriculture possible by meeting the needs of plants. Therefore, fertilization in greenhouses stands out as a fundamental element of a successful plant growing practice.
What are Greenhouse Fertilization Systems?
The method of fertilizer application is as important as the amount and form of the fertilizer used in the nutrition of greenhouse plants. When choosing a fertilization method, plant production systems and irrigation methods should be considered as much as soil fertility. In this article, we will talk about the greenhouse fertilization methods commonly used in Turkey. To get more detailed information, you can also take a look at the video below.
Fertilization by Broadcasting Method
This method is generally a fertilization method performed by scattering fertilizer on the soil surface by hand in small areas or by machine in large areas. Fertilization by broadcasting method is used especially in new greenhouse installations or to increase the fertility of the soil when there are no plants in the greenhouse areas.
Fertilization by Hill-Cluster Method
It is a method frequently preferred in applications such as rose cultivation with furrow irrigation in greenhouses and especially in perennial fruit trees. In this method, fertilizer is applied to the crown projection of the plant and to a peripheral band opened inside the irrigation basin, and then the fertilizer and soil are mixed. However, a fundamental point to consider when using this method is that the fertilizers do not come into direct contact with the capillary roots of the plant.
Applying this method in a greenhouse environment is also a process that requires care. Especially, peripheral bands should be created with widths and depths determined appropriately for the root systems of greenhouse plants. In this way, the amount of fertilizer needed by the plants can be distributed homogeneously and the nutritional needs of the plants can be met. Additionally, this method used in the greenhouse environment should be carried out with planning appropriate for the irrigation system and the delivery of fertilizers to the plants should be kept under control. In this way, plant growth and product quality can be increased by providing efficient fertilization.
Fertilization with Irrigation
This method, also known as fertigation, is the combined application of irrigation and fertilization. Due to the continuous flow in irrigation systems, fertilizer can be applied to the plant root zone at the desired time and in sufficient quantities. In this way, plant nutrients can be maintained at optimal levels throughout the growth period, saving time, fertilizer, and labor. On the other hand, the accumulation of harmful substances in the soil is prevented.
Water and fertilizer use efficiency by plants is important from both economic and environmental perspectives. The principle in practice is to apply plant nutrients that plants can easily absorb near the plant roots in order to obtain the highest yield from fertilizer and unit irrigation water. This method can be used in almost all irrigation methods, but when fertigation is mentioned, the drip irrigation method is the first to come to mind.
