Fertigation through drip irrigation greatly improves nutrient uptake efficiency in rose and gerbera plants. By delivering water-soluble fertilizers directly to the root zone, this method reduces nutrient losses from leaching and runoff, allowing plants to absorb nutrients more effectively. As a result, these crops achieve better nutrition balance and healthier growth compared to conventional fertilization methods.

In addition to nutrient uptake, fertigation via drip irrigation positively influences chlorophyll content in rose and gerbera leaves. The steady and precise supply of nutrients, especially nitrogen and magnesium, supports chlorophyll synthesis, leading to greener foliage and enhanced photosynthetic activity. This improvement contributes to increased plant vigor and flowering quality.

Furthermore, drip fertigation enhances water use efficiency (WUE) by minimizing water wastage and optimizing moisture availability at the root level. This system reduces evaporation and deep percolation losses, ensuring that plants utilize water more effectively. Consequently, both roses and gerberas show improved growth performance even under limited water conditions, making fertigation a sustainable and resource-efficient irrigation technique.
