EC-pH Controlled Fertigation: Stable Production with Munters GreenClimate

EC-pH controlled fertigation manages the electrical conductivity and acidity of the nutrient solution through continuous measurement. Combined with a climate strategy, it stabilizes the root zone, reduces quality fluctuations, and builds an operating standard.

EC-pH controlled fertigation system

In greenhouses, the "hidden determinant" of performance is the root zone. But to truly control the root zone (EC-pH), the climate side must be managed with the same discipline. Because the plant's water and nutrient uptake is directly shaped by climate parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air flow.

At the center of this approach is Munters GreenClimate. GreenClimate provides a comprehensive climate control system for greenhouses, aiming to maximize efficiency and yield. We bring EC-pH controlled fertigation discipline to the field with Munters controller architecture, delivering a working system with commissioning, training, and operating standards.

What do we change?

  1. We reduce fluctuations (quality standard)

    Even if EC-pH is on target, quality fluctuations grow if the climate is unstable. When you manage greenhouse climate with GreenClimate, the root zone behaves more consistently; as a result, Brix, sizing, and shelf life stability improve.

  2. We strengthen measurement (wrong measurement = wrong control)

    Munters GreenBox T&H is a solution with high-precision sensors that improve temperature and humidity measurement in the greenhouse. More accurate measurement means more accurate climate response and less stress in the root zone.

  3. We simplify operations (remote access and standard operation)

    Munters CommBox supports remote access to controllers like GreenClimate for climate/irrigation/fertigation. In multi-block structures, it strengthens the goal of standardized operation from a single center.

Why us?

As Fertima, we serve as a solutions partner in the Munters ecosystem in Turkey; with field commissioning and technical support, we focus not on installing and leaving the system, but on making it deliver performance in operation.

Quick start: a 3-step roadmap

  1. Discovery & suitability analysis (zones, airflow, measurement points, drainage/EC trend)
  2. Target sets & alarm architecture (climate strategy + EC-pH recipe ranges)
  3. Commissioning & training (standard operation that reduces operator dependency)
