Precision Fertigation Schedule (100% Water Soluble Fertilizers)
Dosage rates per 1,000 sq.m unit to prevent nutrient lockouts and maximize marketable produce weight.
| Crop Growth Stage | Duration | Recommended WSF Grades | Daily Dosage (1000m²) | Nutrient Purpose | Practical Instructions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous NFT Recirculating Loop | Day 1 to Harvest (Day 35) | Custom Hydroponic 2-Part (Part A: CaNO3 + Fe-EDDHA / Part B: KH2PO4 + KNO3 + MgSO4 + Trace) | Automated doser maintaining 1.4 EC and 6.0 pH in 5000-liter sump tank | Balanced Nitrogen and Potassium for crisp, crunchy, tender green leaves without tipburn | Monitor water temperature daily; water above 24°C loses dissolved oxygen and triggers Pythium root rot. |
