Horticulture Fertigation and Chemical Injection Systems

Fertigation injectors, dosing pumps and spraying equipment for Australian horticulture — blending fertiliser, nutrients and water-soluble products into your irrigation line at a precise, repeatable ratio.

Precision Flow Solutions supplies fertigation injectors, dosing pumps and spraying equipment for Australian horticulture. Our injectors blend fertiliser, nutrients and water-soluble products into your irrigation line at a precise, repeatable ratio, so crops, blooms, turf and ornamentals get exactly what they need with less waste and lower input cost. We supply, install and service across Australia from our Northmead base in Sydney.

We work with nurseries, greenhouses and glasshouses, garden centres, turf and golf course operations, orchards and vineyards, tree farms and hydroponic growers. With one of the widest ranges of flow and injection rates available, we match the injector to your line size, water pressure and dosing requirement rather than forcing your system to fit the equipment.

What Is Fertigation?

Fertigation is the practice of delivering fertiliser and nutrients to plants through the irrigation system rather than applying them separately. A proportional injector sits in the water line and draws concentrate into the flow at a set ratio, so every plant on the line receives the same nutrient concentration.

Done accurately, fertigation puts nutrient exactly where the roots are, at the rate you choose, with far less run-off and labour than manual application. Done inaccurately, it wastes expensive fertiliser and produces uneven growth across a block. The difference is the injector.

Why Accurate Injection Matters in Horticulture

  • Consistent crops: A fixed ratio means uniform nutrition across every bench, row or block, so growth is even and predictable.
  • Lower input cost: Fertiliser and chemical are among your largest consumables. Precise metering stops over-application and cuts spend.
  • Less waste and run-off: Nutrient goes into the line at the intended rate rather than being over-poured into a tank.
  • Labour saved: Dosing happens automatically as you irrigate, with no batch mixing.
  • Repeatability: The same recipe today, next week and next season.

How a Water-Driven Injector Works

A water-driven proportional injector uses the flow and pressure of your irrigation water as its only power source, with no electricity required. Water entering the unit drives an internal motor, which draws a set percentage of concentrate from your stock solution and injects it into the flow. Because the injector is driven by the water itself, the dose stays proportional even as flow rate varies, and the mixed solution is carried downstream by line pressure.

This makes water-driven injectors well suited to nurseries, greenhouses and remote blocks where running power to the injection point is impractical. Browse our water-driven injector range.

Backflow Prevention for Fertigation

Any system that injects fertiliser or chemical into a water line creates a risk of that solution flowing back toward the supply if pressure drops. In Australia, connections of this kind are generally treated as a high hazard and require appropriate backflow prevention, with the specific device and testing requirements set by your local water authority and the relevant plumbing standards.

We supply backflow prevention products alongside our injectors so the installation is considered as a whole. Confirm the requirements for your site with your water authority or a licensed plumber before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fertigation?

Fertigation is the delivery of fertiliser and nutrients to plants through the irrigation system rather than by separate application. A proportional injector installed in the water line draws concentrate into the flow at a set ratio, so every plant on the line receives the same nutrient concentration as it is watered.

How does a fertigation injector work?

A water-driven fertigation injector uses the flow and pressure of the irrigation water as its power source. Water entering the unit drives an internal motor that draws a set percentage of concentrate from the stock solution and injects it into the flow. The dose stays proportional as flow varies, and line pressure carries the mixed solution downstream.

Do fertigation injectors need electricity?

No. Water-driven proportional injectors run on the flow and pressure of the irrigation water alone and need no electrical connection. This makes them well suited to greenhouses, nurseries and remote blocks where running power to the injection point is impractical or unsafe.

Do I need backflow prevention for a fertigation system?

Injecting fertiliser or chemical into a water line is generally treated as a high hazard in Australia and requires appropriate backflow prevention to protect the supply. The specific device, installation and testing requirements are set by your local water authority and the relevant plumbing standards, so confirm what applies to your site with your water authority or a licensed plumber.

What injection ratio do I need for my nursery?

The right ratio depends on your stock solution strength, your target nutrient concentration and your flow rate. Injectors are available across a wide span of adjustable and fixed ratios, so the usual approach is to work back from your recipe and line flow. Our team can size an injector to your system.

Can I inject pesticides and water-soluble chemicals as well as fertiliser?

Yes. Proportional injectors handle fertiliser, nutrients, pest and disease control products, line cleaning chemicals and other water-soluble products, provided the material is compatible with the injector's seals. Always follow the product label for rates and handling, and check chemical compatibility before use.

How do I clean biofilm out of irrigation lines?

Line cleaning chemicals can be injected through the irrigation system to break down biofilm, algae and mineral build-up that block emitters and reduce uniformity. Injectors such as AquaBlend Xtreme are designed to be compatible with water line cleaning chemicals, which lets you dose treatment and nutrient through the same system.

Does Precision Flow Solutions install fertigation equipment?

Yes. We supply, install and service fertigation injectors, dosing pumps, filtration and backflow prevention across Australia from our Northmead facility in Sydney, and we hold local stock of units and spare parts for fast support.
