Drip irrigation is an effective practice for enhancing water and nutrient use efficiency. In addition, when compared to furrow and sprinkler irrigation systems, drip irrigation significantly reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The ICL NovAcid range includes analyses ideal for drip-irrigated vegetables, fruit trees, and arable crops. NovAcid is a specialty range of fully water-soluble, acidifying NPK fertilizers. The acidity neutralizes and dissolves bicarbonates in the irrigation system, while the balanced supply of nutrients delivers better yield and quality. The acidic nature of NovAcid makes it especially suitable for calcareous soils and hard waters, improving nutrient availability. NovAcid reduces the pH of irrigation water, preventing precipitation and keeping irrigation systems clean.

How to calculate dosage
Example: To prepare a 1:20 working solution for 100 L of water, divide 100 L by 20. This gives you 5, meaning you’ll need 5 kg of fertilizer for 100 L of water.
Example: To prepare a 1:15 working solution for 150 L of water, divide 150 L by 15. This gives you 10, meaning you’ll need 10 kg of fertilizer for 150 L of water.
