The robustness, precision and efficiency of MixRite fertigation systems help farmers and growers reduce wastage and save on fertilizer costs.
Fertilizing and watering are two of the most important tasks in a growing operation, and they are two of the most time-consuming. Fertigation applies water-soluble fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, wetting agents and mineral acids through an irrigation system. A highly adaptable and scalable practice, fertigation is a vital labour-saver. MixRite fertigation systems make it simple for farmers and horticulturalists to regulate nutrient application rates and schedules.
Nutrient delivery without the waste
Automated fertigation saves agriculture producers and growers money. Fertilizer only goes where it is needed. Traditional fertilizer applications can be wasteful, and their associated run-off often can damage local ecosystems. Dissolving fertilizers in water and delivering them to plants in a liquid form via MixRite fertilizer injectors allows plants to absorb and utilise their growth-giving goodness more quickly and typically uses less product.
Growing great operations in Aotearoa
As more efficient, affordable and durable technologies and fertigation systems, such as our MixRite fertilizer injectors, have become more readily available in New Zealand, fertigation has increased in efficacy. MixRite fertigation units deliver the right solutions on farms, open-field agriculture, orchards, greenhouses and nurseries. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability empowers agricultural and horticultural operations New Zealand-wide.
MixRite for flexible automated systems
The MixRite fertigation unit becomes part of the irrigation system. Fertilizer injectors use a water-driven pump to move a small amount of concentrated fertilizer from a stock tank and inject it into a water line. They have adjustable injection rates and a variety of flow ranges. Scale our fertigation systems up or down to suit.
A metering pump gives precise control over the amount of fertilizer being added to the irrigation water. It adds a measured amount of liquid fertilizer to the irrigation main line every time the system runs. Growers can create automated systems to target specific crops and their growing needs.
As an example, kiwifruit has specific nutrient requirements that vary throughout the growing season. The plants need higher levels of nitrogen in the early growth stages and potassium during fruit development. Fertigation allows growers to adjust nutrient delivery, ensuring that plants receive the right nutrients at the right time. That means kiwifruit with better size, sweetness, and overall quality.
MixRite provides a long-lasting solution
The effectiveness of fertigation is often dependent on the effectiveness of the irrigation system in distributing water and fertiliser evenly. Because of the corrosive nature of many fertilisers, the irrigation system’s components must consist of durable non-corrosive materials. MixRite pumps are world-renowned for their durability and reliability. Robust and accurate, MixRite pumps can withstand the challenges of chemical exposure and varying temperatures, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Our fertigation systems have been used effectively around the world and are recognised as an effective, affordable Dosatron alternative.
In terms of portion control, MixRite fertilizer injectors are some of the most accurate units on the market.
For growers that means less waste and lower costs. Plus, a better mix for fertilizers, pesticides and other water-soluble products means better growth.
MixRite proportional pumps deliver the solution
MixRite fertigation systems are the ideal unit for any growing operation requiring the proportional dosing of an additive. They offer a tailored approach to nutrient management, allowing growers to address the specific challenges of their regions. They provide precise control over fertilizer volumes and rates regardless of varying water pressure and flow rates and without the need for an external power source.
