ABSTRACT
Chemigation is the practice of distributing approved agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and growth regulators by injecting them into water flowing through a properly designed and managed irrigation system. The term chemigation was originally coined to describe the concept of applying commercial fertilizers that were needed for crop production. Field research, and advances in sprinkler and chemical injection technology have stimulated the use of chemigation as a major crop production tool. Today chemigation is one of the more efficient, economical, and environmentally safe methods of applying chemicals needed for successful crop, orchard, turf, greenhouse, and landscape operations.
