Sustainability in agriculture is not only measured by employing eco-friendly material, but also by a wise use of natural resources and a sparing use of fertilizers and crop protection products.
Fertigation is without doubt among the systems that better rationalize the use of resources. Irritec Spa is on of the more highly specialized companies.

"For soilless crops, our kits can be supplied pre-assembled with standard or customized sizing. Greenhouse and pot solutions also meet the nutritional needs of crops thanks to the modern fertigation units installed to guarantee the maximum growth of crops. Monitoring and automation systems are essential just as our modern control units, as they enable soil-less crops to receive the proper irrigation and nutritional inputs," explains marketing director Giulia Giuffrè.

Another system is the LIGHT – PC version: a self-compensating turbulent-flow dripper with a small size. It comes with a double inlet filter, a sturdy silicone membrane and a turbulent labyrinth that contribute to its excellent hydraulic characteristics. It is characterized by high-quality functioning, assembly functionality, numerous possible combinations and contained cost. This solution was developed specifically for soil-less crops and it is an Irritec's inexpensive and versatile answer to grower needs.
"The fertigation of soil-less plants can be managed with our systems to dose nutrients and correct acidity and electrical conductivity as well as to remotely manage the opening of electrovalves. Irritec developed different solutions to meet the needs of all growers dealing with fertigation."
