Water Fertilizer Integration Equipment Research Status and Development Trend

Abstract

Integrated water and fertilizer technology can accurately adjust the mix of water and fertilizer on demand, and then through the irrigation system, water and fertilizer are delivered to the roots of the crop in quantity, on time, and with precision. As an important part of the integrated system of water and fertilizer, the fertilizer has a critical influence on the quality of the fertilizing system. Nowadays, the development of intelligent agriculture has become a general trend of agricultural development. By exploring the development process of water and fertilizer mixing, this paper sorted out the research status of various kinds of fertilizers in China, compared different mixing methods of water and fertilizer, and analyzed and summarized the excellent working performance of different fertilizers. Secondly, the current research emphases were discussed, including precision fertilization technology, intelligent control, comprehensive utilization of resources and circular agriculture. Then, the development trend of integrated water and fertilizer equipment is put forward, including the improvement of precision fertilization, the development of multifunctional integrated equipment, and the application of data management and decision support system. Through continuous technological innovation and application, the integrated equipment of water and fertilizer is expected to play a greater role in the agricultural field.
