Water Treatment Service for Irrigation Systems
Irrigators are facing ever increasing demands to improve their water use processes, especially in an environment where available water resources are becoming scarce due to competing demands. Demand for groundwater is an increasing source of water for irrigators, forcing the use of a lower quality resource that may have been rejected in the past. This water will require treatment prior to use.
Iron is essential nutrient to plants, however in large amount it causes toxicity and deterioration of soil quality. Iron binds phosphorus and molybdenum, essential nutrients, reducing their availability to the plants. In addition the imbalance of a few nutrients has a domino effect on toxicity levels and availability of other nutrients. When water is sprayed on plant leaves, iron may precipitate to form slime or light brown spots which interfere with availability of sunlight and general biological processes and adversely affect the product’s appearance and marketability. More soil conditioners, fertilisers and chemicals to treat plant diseases are needed to counterbalance the damages caused by excessive iron in irrigation water. As such, there are recommended limits to the concentration of iron in irrigation waters.
