Exactrix Test Plot Data Confirms Nutrient Efficiency |
|
|
For the first time in the history of the Kramer Seed Farm the land has been fertilized exact. The streaming band width is exactly the same. Each band is identical within 1%. Every acre band is applied within 1%. The applied field rate is within 30 lbs. on 10,000 lbs. applied irregardless of temperature. The bands are not defused. The soil micro flora has difficulty accessing the uniform tight bands. The soil micro flora reject the bands as distasteful due to the acid base reaction. One of the secrets... streaming liquid flow with a standard band width that is non-diffused. |

Exactrix test plots, randomized and replicated 3 times, |
Exactrix owners receive $1000 for valuable nutrient management data. Results of test plots indicate nutrients are over applied.... Why? Non uniform application of the "old fashioned" metering systems and poor timing. |

The Exactrix owner was so proud of the decision to implement Exactrix technology. His pictures show the tremendous difference. |
Lineal uniformity, band uniformity, chemical
reaction, and physical state allows....and produces....a formulation of |
Typical 10% yield increases proven time after time in
variable pH and variable OM soils. Reduced use of N, P and S…Up to ˝ the amount required
compared to dry urea and dry P and S. Chemical reaction Formed at 800*F by super-ammoniation only with liquid
NH3 mixing APP and ATS. Acid base reaction. Band uniformity An all weather friend in liquid, low CV application at 1% variance. Dry fertilizer is not competitive. Lineal uniformity Physical state-liquid state, high pressure at the injection point. Unique to Exactrix…with process control, timed shut down, no freezing lines and assured mixing.
The reaction is at 800 degrees F as the NH3 becomes NH4
and forms A continuous streaming flow with no irregular band concentration allows the plant roots to access the nutrients without root pruning or burning. The homogenous blend polymer is crystallized in an acid based reaction. Uniformity and reaction result in 166% more crop available nutrient. |
Each port outlet is within 1% CV allowing each corn row to feed evenly.

Technical Discussion, Tri-Ammonium Poly Phosphate Sulfate, TAPPS. 1. Can not be purchased….TAPPS is manufactured
dynamically with an Exactrix Mid-Tech process control system. 2. The most plant available form of placed N, P, S and
Zn. 3. Super ammoniation of a balanced nutrient package.
Produces a hair root target 100 times greater diameter than a single
product application of Ammonium Poly Phosphate, 10-34-0, 11-37-0, and
ATS, 12-0-0-26S. 4. The crystals of TAPPS chemically reduces the ability
of soil calcium to tie up or sequester placed P. Crystalline TAPPS
remains available for future crops without tillage. Rotational Band
Loading reduces P requirement. 5. Ammonium Poly Phosphate is required. Ammonium Thio-Sulfate
is required. NH3 is required. The three materials must mix and formulate
with two intersecting streaming flow columns. The crystals must be
formed. 6. Typically formulated as a 60-15-0-7S-1Zn. The three
materials can be variable rate applied. N, P and S rates can be adjusted
to match soil pH, soil available P and soil mobile SO4. Zn ratio is no
less the 18 to 1 in relation to P. 7. Known for 40 years to be the best method for
fertilizing wheat and corn….and now it is practical. 8. Shifts the applied band pH to 8 to 8.5 allowing micro
nutrients to become more available as band pH shifts in time from above
7 to below 7. Reduces the chances of hydrogen being stored in the soil.
The plant can pull hydrogen directly. If timed properly the plant can
directly pull NH4 from the crystals of TAPPS. Thus reduced soil
acidification potential. TAPPS delays the conversion to mobile nitrate. 9. Ammonium Thio-Sulfate or ATS is a nitrification inhibitor…and a plant nutrient. The cost to stabilize the band and reduce leaching is about half of other methods. ATS is listed as a plant nutrient and a nitrification inhibitor... NRCS approved. 10. Chevron Chemical, Ortho Division came close with the Unipel design…but no super-ammoniation and no pH shift, plus the sinusoidal flow of a dry prill when banded and high CV application port to port of dry fertilizer. 11. Exactrix test plots confirm that yield curves come up early and fast at low rates and then drop backwards when TAPPS is over-applied. See Exactrix Test Plot Summary. Yield limits are often related to other factors e.g. compaction, moisture infiltration, heat index at pollination. 12. TAPPS was pioneered at WSU, MSU, KSU and UNL….but never brought to a true state of perfection until recently at Exactrix with the help of the Fluid Fertilizer Foundation and Dr. Larry Murphy. |
