Application Methods:
- Fertigation: WSFs are commonly used in fertigation, where fertilizers are mixed with irrigation water and delivered directly to the plant roots.
- Foliar Feeding: They can also be applied directly to plant foliage (leaves) through foliar sprays.
Benefits:
- Efficient Nutrient Delivery: WSFs ensure that nutrients are readily available for plant uptake, minimizing nutrient losses due to leaching or runoff.
- Precision Nutrient Management: They allow for precise control over nutrient application, enabling farmers to tailor fertilizer applications to specific crop needs and growth stages.
- Suitable for Various Systems: WSFs are well-suited for hydroponics, greenhouses, and other controlled environments.
- Reduces Nutrient Wastage: Nutrient wastage through evaporation, leaching, and runoff is minimized because the nutrients are readily absorbed by the plant.
