A device for diluting and mixing concentrated aqueous fertilizer solutions, comprising a water inlet fluidically connected to a first liquid distributor for distributing water to three outlets, wherein:
- a first outlet of the three outlets is fluidically connected to a first pipe comprising a first inline static mixer, said first pipe further comprising a first inlet upstream from said first inline static mixer, wherein said first inlet is configured to be connected to a first container comprising a first aqueous fertilizer solution;
- a second outlet of the three outlets is fluidically connected to a second pipe comprising a second inline static mixer, said second pipe further comprising a second inlet upstream from said second inline static mixer, wherein said second inlet is configured to be connected to a second container comprising a second aqueous fertilizer solution;
- said first pipe and said second pipe are fluidically connected to a second liquid distributor downstream from said first and second inline static mixer, said second liquid distributor further comprising a single outlet through which said second liquid distributor is fluidically connected to a third liquid distributor;
- a third outlet of the three outlets is fluidically connected to a third pipe comprising a valve for regulating water flow, said third pipe being fluidically connected to said third liquid distributor downstream from said valve;
- and
- said third liquid distributor comprises a single outlet fluidly connected to an outlet pipe configured to be connected to a water pump, downstream of said third liquid distributor.
