abstract: The fertigation allows application of right amounts of plant nutrients
uniformly to the wetted root volume zone where most of the active roots are
concentrated and this helps enhance NUE. Fertigation is considered eco-friendly
as it controls leaching of nutrients especially nitrogen(N)-NO3 .In fertigation the
water soluble nutrients move with the wetting front and thus precise management
of irrigation quantity along with the rate and timing of nutrient application are of
critical importance to obtain desired results in terms of productivity and nutrient
use efficiency. A review is made of the current literature on the use of fertigation
covering various aspects of vegetable production including its advantages and
constraints to its adoption especially at the practical agriculture level in India.
