Abstract:
Although fertigation offers substantial efficiency and productivity benefits, it also has significant drawbacks. Setting up a fertigation system requires considerable costs and knowledge and professionalism in managing soil, water, and fertiliser. Inefficient fertigation practices can also lead to groundwater contamination from nutrients leaching beyond the root zone. Consequently, this study aimed to introduce the MyNutriCapsule, an innovative product designed by Mr. Azlan Abdul Aziz, a senior lecturer from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. The product was primarily employed to significantly reduce water and nutrient waste in fertigation agriculture. MyNutriCapsule recorded 98% and 18% reduction in fertiliser and liquid nutritional fertiliser wastage, respectively. The product also documented a 20% reduction in treated water consumption and a 27% decrement in overall operational costs. The observations validated the efficiency of MyNutriCapsule in promoting sustainable and cost-effective agricultural practices.
