Recently there has been great interest in acid-based fertilizers - and Agri-Inject has again taken the lead in this area.
Many growers are using acid-based fertilizers as either a soil amendment or a water amendment. If soil has a high salt content, the acid-based fertilizer can encourage the salt to leach below the root profile. Alkaline soil can also be the result of the irrigation water - so the acid-based fertilizer changes the pH of the water before it reaches the soil, helping change the pH of the soil over time as well.
The injection of infuric acids is also used in drip systems to keep drip lines clean.
In response to this trend, Agri-Inject has developed acid-compatible versions of both its Series-G and mRoy fertilizer pumps. These versions use either polypropylene or Alloy 20 parts to change out standard components. Even our patented Mister Mist'r™ injection check valve comes in an acid-resistant model.
If you're considering acid-based fertilizer, you can still count on Agri-Inject as a partner in your fluid application program. Contact your Agri-Inject dealer to discover more.
