Fertigation

Frenchman's Reserve is equipped with a fertigation system.  Our fertigation system allows us to apply measured amounts of fertilizer through a night time irrigation cycle.  The system is designed to inject liquid fertilizer into the irrigation lines and then delivered to the turf through the irrigation heads throughout the course.  This provides the turf essential amounts of nutrition each night the irrigation system is scheduled to water.  We replaced several check valves but now the fertigation system is operating normally.   


 Above is the Team performing a Diagnostic test and Troubleshooting the Fertigation System.


This is the Bulk Delivery of Liquid Fertilizer that will be injected through the system.


The Liquid Fertilizer is Transferred into two 1650 Gallon Fertilizer Tanks inside the Pump House.


Now we have the capability to fertilize while Irrigating the Golf Course.
