Exactrix TAPPS makes a record in NUE at .583 lbs. N per bushel
produced.
The
common denominator of nutrient efficiency in Variable Rate, Site
Specific is the NUE.
The
yield is coming from the 7.5 to 8 pH calcareous soils ability to
timely mineralize nitrogen using No-tillage.
Nitrogen is not over applied in field areas where excessive N hurts
yields.
Commercial Nitrogen must be reduced to improve yields.
Exactrix NPKS is highly crop available and in fact up to 166% to
200% more crop available.

EXACTRIX TAPPS at 1% CV….. Uniformity of streaming flows makes

Kansas,
December
7, 2016 a presentation was made by Joel McClure
for Kramer Seed Co, Ben McClure of Hugoton, KS.
You
can review the attached
Power Point presentation
written by Ag Economist and Manager, Ben McClure.
Note:
Two rain fall events of 8 inches total. A giant April rainstorm of 8
inches after banding and prior to planting produced confusion.
Did the TAPPS nutrients move? The recommendation was to apply more
N. No extra N was applied based on correct information and years of
experience with TAPPS. The decision was based on soil samples in
the band of TAPPS and consulting from TKI, Bert Bock. The nitrogen
remained in the top 24 inches in the critical Ammonium form. The
bands were very easy to find in strip till 30 inch spacing. Samples
were taken twice checking out Ammonium and Nitrate.
In
2016, Ben McClure improved yields to the highest ever generated at
Kramer Seed Co.
A bankable enterprise and beyond other area producers by 12% to 15%
more net income.
An
irrigated Kansas farm had 45% return on investment of $635 per acre
invested including land and watering costs.
The enclosed circle 4 south averaged 264.00 bu./A adjusted to the
scale and 15.5% moisture times $3.50 per bushel at $924.00 per acre
gross income.
The
Exactrix TAPPS NUE at .583 lbs. N per bushel.
The NUE or pounds N per bushel produced NH3, 141 and APP/Thio-Sul,
13 lbs. N or 154 total lbs. N came in at .583 lbs. N per bushel
produced.
Ben McClure held an exceptionally good profit of $290 per acre after
all costs. Kramer Seed is in its 8th year of Exactrix
TAPPS application.
The Yields were 264 bushels per acre applied on strip till/No-till
30 inch centers, in sandy loam soils, Variable Rate Site Specific at
$64 total nutrient cost, Exactrix TAPPS.
The planter also had 4 planting zones that varied between 27,000 to
34,000 population, Philips Corn Seed was selected.
The Corn Yield
Map was adjusted based on scale tickets and moisture adjusted to
15.5%.
The entire pivot yielded 264 bushel per acre average across the
scale.
Cost per bushel for all nutrients was 25 cents.
Exactrix TAPPS, Yielder Technology required an investment 6.9% of
the gross return
The rate of return was 45% of the total investment.

How
significant is NUE in comparing efficiency and economy?
Is
not
278 bushels per acre a much better return?
The
yield on Circle 4 South produced .669 bushels per lb. of N, NUE,
and averaged 278 bushels per acre.
The
Circle 4 South pivot was held constant on 34,000 planting rates.
Compared to the Circle 4 North, Circle 4 South the N and P/S were
over applied on average 132% N and 183% P and S. The Exactrix TAPPS
nutrients were VR applied and the plant population was held
constant. The N rate was 186 lbs. N average and up to 183% more
Phosphate and Sulfur was utilized at 22 gallons per acre average…and
as high as 31 gallons per acre.
Compared to Circle 4 North the Circle 4 South had $50 more
investment in fertilizer and seed at 45 lbs. more N, 10 gallons more
of APP/ATS, a constant population at 34,000 with a Philipps variety,
a 10% higher investment in seed and a 183% greater investment in
Phosphate and Sulfur.
Circle
4 truly crossed over and went South with an NUE of .669. Why? Too
much nutrient with highly crop available TAPPS.
It is
true that 14 more bushels were produced on Circle 4 South and
additional gross income of $49.00 was produced. An investment of $50
more produced $1.00 less net income.
Yields
were as high as 325 bushels per acre on Circle 4 North
. Circle 4 North at .583 NUE produced $1.00 per acre more
income with $50 per acre less invested. Circle 4 South at .669 NUE
was a more risky investment with a very good chance the weather
could have been a lot worse. More is Less and $6,000 was at risk
that did produce a negative return.

There
may be a simple and low cost way to break 300 bushels per acre in
irrigated corn and make more money.
Center pivot and dryland production of Winter Canola has proven to
improve wheat and corn yields by 8% to 10%.
Healthy Winter Canola is ready for winter with large crowns and no
fertilizer applied. Growth regulators are improving.
Sandy soils are very much improved with a rotation of Canola, Dwarf
Essex and/or Mustard.
Sandy Loam Soils favor nematodes. Nematodes are suppressed with
addition of glucosinolates from Brassicas.
Winter Canola can be doubled cropped in Southwestern Kansas with
Milo or Soybean to follow.

Corner, Dec. 31, 16 |
Canola crowns
are growing at very low temperatures. At Hugoton producer reports
indicate short in-climate temperature bursts of -15 degrees F.
Winter Canola has improved stands with a planter spacing of 4 to 5
inches allowing the plant to develop large crowns and tap roots.
Large crowns and taproots develop improving winter hardiness with
improved survival in frigid cold conditions.
The Monosem planter appears to produce the best singulation of
expensive breeder seed as reported by hybrid seed producers in
Alberta.
High
Yielder in Deep Soils.
Winter
Canola can produce yields of 6,000 to 7,000 lbs. per acre at 44% to
46% oil content in a long rotation, PNW soils.
At Hugoton,KS irrigated yields of 5,000lbs. to 4,000 lbs. per acre
yield is a good start. Oil content tells the story about fertility
practices and yield.
A Mustang Tool Bar P-51C is required to No-till fertilize the Winter
Canola in February with
Ammonium and TAPPS for yield and oil
content.
