Global Agricultural Fertigation and Chemigation Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Agricultural Fertigation and Chemigation Market Analysis and Size

Fertigation and chemigation have several advantages, including minimal water waste and labor requirements. This gives you the ability to protect yourself from drought conditions. Fertigation is a common practice in commercial agriculture and horticulture. Fertigation is also being used more in landscaping as dispenser units become more reliable and user-friendly. Fertigation is used to supplement nutrients or correct nutrient deficiencies discovered through plant tissue analysis. It is most commonly used on high-value crops such as vegetables, turf, fruit trees, and ornamentals.

 Agricultural Fertigation and Chemigation Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Fertigation is the practice of dissolving fertilizers in irrigation water and applying them directly to crops through the irrigation system. It enables precise control of nutrient delivery, enhancing nutrient efficiency and minimizing waste.chemigation involves distributing chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides through irrigation systems, ensuring uniform and efficient coverage across fields. This method reduces environmental impact and human exposure while optimizing pest and weed control. Both techniques are vital in modern agriculture, promoting resource efficiency and sustainable farming by delivering nutrients and chemicals directly to plant roots through irrigation systems, contributing to increased crop yields and reduced environmental impact.

Global Agricultural Fertigation and Chemigation Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Agricultural Fertigation and Chemigation to Reduce Nutrient Leaching Losses

Growing demand for the product as it aids in plant growth, yield, and crop quality, the rising population across the globe, and increasing preferences for agricultural fertigation and chemigation to reduce nutrient leaching losses are some of the factors that will likely drive the growth of the agricultural fertigation and chemigation market in the forecast period.

• Rising Demand due to the High Uniformity of Distribution throughout Crop Plant Systems

Fertigation and chemigation are also in high demand because they provide high distribution uniformity throughout crop plant systems. Fertigation and chemigation are more effective methods of increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), crop productivity, and crop quality, preventing nutrient loss through leaching. The primary factor driving the fertigation and chemigation market growth is its widespread use in reducing the chemical leaching of crops, which is expected to significantly drive the fertigation and chemigation market during the forecast period.

Opportunity

• Increased Adoption of Precision Agriculture

Precision agriculture is on the rise, driven by the need to optimize resource use and improve crop yields. Fertigation and chemigation systems fit well within this framework, allowing for precise control and customization of nutrient and chemical applications. As more farmers embrace precision agriculture, the demand for these technologies is likely to grow.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Initial Investment and Technical Expertise

Implementing fertigation and chemigation systems can require a substantial upfront investment in equipment, technology, and infrastructure. This cost can be a barrier for smaller or resource-constrained farmers and Operating and maintaining these systems effectively demands technical knowledge and skills. Farmers may need training and support, which can be a challenge in regions with limited access to agricultural education and extension services.

• Infrastructure Limitations and Cost Constraints

In some regions, particularly in developing countries, the lack of proper irrigation infrastructure and reliable electricity supply can hinder the implementation of these technologies and the initial investment required for fertigation and chemigation systems can be high, which may deter small-scale and resource-constrained farmers from adopting these practices.

Recent Developments

• In February 2022, Netafim USA, a subsidiary of Netafim Ltd., launched its new AlphaDiscTM filter a new filter designed to protect irrigation systems from clogging caused by organic contaminants
• In May 2021, Valmont Industries paid USD 300 million for Prospera Technologies (an Israeli crop analytics startup). They are primarily concerned with digitizing center pivot irrigation systems
• In February 2021, Rain Bird will release New Rain Bird Flow-Indicating Basket Filters making irrigation systems easier to install and maintain by combining flow measurement, filtration, and integrated pressure regulation in a single, compact solution
• In January 2019, Lindsay Corporation and Nutrien AG Solutions, the world's largest crop inputs and services provider, announced a collaboration to allow Nutrien AG Solutions and Lindsay's remote irrigation management and scheduling platform to work together
