‘Feed the Curve’ with The White BoxTM from DPG

Every crop follows a unique nutrient demand curve throughout its growing season, varying by nutrient to support its vital functions. This session explores the DPG Continuous FertigationTM approach, designed to precisely meet or feed this curve for all nutrients. We’ll present long-term efficacy data from production-scale pistachio orchards, demonstrating enhanced yields and improved nutrient use efficiency, particularly for Nitrogen and Potassium. Learn how you can ‘Feed the Curve’ to get more crop per drop of fertilizer!
