Plant nutrition through Fertigation on a Pepper Farm

Plant nutrition through Fertigation on a Pepper Farm

International investor

Our client is an international investor who owns a pepper farm in Kampot, Cambodia.

Covering an area of 30 hectares, this farm is known for growing high-quality pepper, recognized worldwide under the Kampot Pepper Designation of Origin.

The client’s goal was to adapt a comprehensive solution Irrigation, nutrition, and Filtration systems that would meet the product’s high-quality standards and enable exports to Asian, European, and North American markets.


Location: Cambodia
Farming: Pepper

The Challenge

The main challenge was to address the various nutritional needs from the farm’s various crops, primarily black pepper but also bananas (grown using an intercropping system), with a limited fertilization period.

In addition, the following was required: labor force, but the workforce in the area was poorly qualified and lacked prior experience in the sector, which added to the complexity of the project.

The Solution

To address this challenge, the decision was made to implement the technology AZUD QGROW BS, a fertilizer injection system that allows for the Applying multiple fertilizers at the same time in an intuitive and simple way.

This solution proved ideal given the farm’s labor availability and the low skill level of its workers. The AZUD QGROW BS system features 5 Injection lines, which allows for simple, manual operation, making it easier for operators to learn.

Benefits of the Solution

The implementation of this technological solution brought numerous benefits:

  1. Ease of learning: Thanks to the equipment’s simplicity and ease of use AZUD QGROW BS, the farm’s operators were able to quickly acquire the knowledge necessary for its efficient operation.
  2. Time savings: Because it is possible to inject multiple fertilizers simultaneously, the time required for fertilizer application was significantly reduced. This made it possible to optimize operations and increase the efficiency of the resources available on the farm.
  3. Precise dosing: AZUD QGROW BS technology ensured precise fertilizer application, guaranteeing that each crop received the nutrients necessary for optimal growth. A specific Injection line was included for pepper cultivation, which required a particular fertilizer, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific needs of each crop.
  4. Flexibility in switching crops: Thanks to the versatility of the Injection system, switching fertilizer formulations between different crops was quick and easy. This allowed for an efficient transition between the different crop cycles, maximizing results in each case.
