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.
