Hi Tanoh , You will install a fertilizer tank (the capacity depends on the irrigated area and crop type.),adding any fertilizer tank to the irrigation system will affect as a result on total head value for the pump, the head loss for the fertilizer tank depends on the velocity and its fittings, usually, we install a filter system after the fertilizer tank, which will affect also the total head of the pump.
Best,
Elias
