fertigation of fruit trees a good idea?

Just purchased a drip irrigation system to water vegetable garden and the dwarf apple trees I have on order and I am considering fertigation for both. Anyone out there using fertigation for their fruit trees that can give some input?

Based on some reading, it appears that calculating how much fertilizer your trees are actually receiving can be tricky, plus the fertilizer injectors and the appropriate liquid fertilizers can be pricey, not sure if it is worth the extra work and expense.

Some folks at Cornell University seem to think so.
