Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Fertigation. Fertigation is a method of fertilizer application in which fertilizer is incorporated within the irrigation water by the drip system. In this system fertilizer solution is distributed evenly in irrigation. The availability of nutrients is very high therefore the efficiency is more.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fertigation is the process of adding fertilizer to irrigation water. Commonly 28% nitrogen (N) injected into irrigation water in place of, or addition to, sidedress N applications. Fertigation allows application of N closest to the plants uptake without extra field traffic.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are various fertilizer application methods that a grower should consider. The four main types of application methods consist of broadcasting, foliar, placement, and fertigation.
