Andy Mogen, Keene, ND, Exactrix VRT-Site Specific TAPPS, single disc banding, 12 inch. An advanced producer for 9 years.

Exactrix owners report 12%-15% on average more net margin... from $100,000 to $1.5 million additional annual net margin.

And now introducing Binary Banding™ for Corn and Soybean producers.

        
From the top plant scientists and engineers in agriculture: “A way to fertilize Soybeans with VRT-Site Specific applications.”

Powerful Economics with TAPPS,  John Niemeyer, Beatrice, NE.  

What is Tri-Ammonium Poly Phosphate Sulfate or TAPPS?

Why is it so powerful?

Why do you have to build it rather than buy it?

Where can I get University support on the subject of TAPPS?

I plant 2,000 acres of corn, How can I make another $300,000 per year with Exactrix TAPPS?

Lineal Uniformity, Geometry, Chemistry, Physical Structure and Superior Engineering

            Seward, NE fall No-tillage banding at high speeds.         Exactrix USDA Tool Bar, P-51 Mustang Swiveling Single Disc Openers.

Practicing five annual factors brings good yields and excellent nutrient efficiency.
Apply 166% more crop available N and 200% more crop available P with TAPPS.

1. Timing of application.
2. Uniformity, lineal stream, exact band width with every band on every acre on every field....exactly applied.
3. Root pattern geometry becomes superior with banding at 7 to 8 inch depths which is required in many soils.
4. TAPPS formulation of balanced nutrients, also in P and T Binary Bands™.
5. No-Tillage practices provide additional nutrients timely with higher crop efficiency.

Practicing three perennial factors improves yields and nutrient efficiency.

1. Rotation.
2. No-tillage, Rotational Band Loading.
3. Adjusted soil pH. Optimum 7 to 7.5 pH.

October Fall Banding with a 62 foot Case SDX, fixed angle single disc at 58 degrees North, Manning Alberta.

How and why can Nebraska producers fall band in November and not loose nitrogen? Why, because fall TAPPS banding makes higher yields.

Thio-Sul® is functional as a nitrogen stabilizer fall or spring.  A grand-fathered N stabilization material. Time proven over 50 years.

Exactrix technical testing confirms Thio-Sul works better with TAPPS in an acid base reaction crystal at 1% CV uniformity.

Thio-Sul® is a better choice than N-serve with Mustang P-51 C and CUE openers banding at 7 inch depths.

Why is VRT-Site Specific with Exactrix TAPPS application at 1% CV?

Does No-tillage make for better yields with Rotational Band Loading?

Pre-Plant Banding Ammonium in snowy conditions results in top yields and high nutrient avaialbilty.

Check out the Nebraska Tests from TKI and Exactrix. TAPPS fall banded directly over the critical aquifer of the Platte River Valley.

West of Seward and North of York Nebraska located on some of the best corn production and corn breeding acreage in the world.

In Nebraska the nitrate is not exported into the rivers and streams like Iowa or Illinois but moves into the drinking water of  the shallow Ogallala aquifer .

Also a true story in Kansas at Lakin along the Arkansas River.. The drinking water must be cleaned up for human consumption.

Liquid streaming flows of Ammonium, NH3, Polyphosphate, Thio-Sul®, KTS®, ammoniated Zinc and ammoniated Copper.

Jake Gross and Eric Odberg, two generations agree, Exactrix VRT Site Specific works well.

Idaho’s best in winter and spring wheat, garbanzo, barley, mustard, lentil, pea and canola production. Eric Odberg says, “Exactrix Makes a big difference”.
 

Deere 1895 Mid Row Banding, Banding in September with TAPPS. 11 months to harvest. Maximum nutrient availability with less required and less lime long term, stabilized N. Exactrix TAPPS has 166% more crop available N and 200% more crop available P as Exactrix TAPPS. Exactrix TAPPS banding into growing winter wheat only improves quality and protein. Each opener band is applied within 1% variation, formulating TAPPS. Liquid Streaming Flows improve N efficiency with highest quality NH3.

The TAPPS band width is exact. The band concentration or the band width or the band diameter remains constant across the applicator pass. There is no over and under concentration of nutrients. Over concentrated bands cause root burning and or pruning. The TAPPS and TAPPKTS bands are homogeneous with zinc, copper blended with two types of sulfur and poly-phosphate and reacted with ammonic nitrogen (low cost NH3) in an acid base/reaction feeding plants with a balanced nutrient crystal band. KTS is also used in Low CEC soils. Highest uniformity puts 99% of the Ammonic N to work in the plant. At 100 lbs. N per acre only 1 pound of N is not crop useable. Thus the soil can mineralize better and supply more of the critical N it was designed to supply.

VRT Site Specific reached new levels of performance in 2016.

Kramer Seed Farm produced more net dollars per acre than any other producer in Western Kansas based on our extensive knowledge.  

Philips corn seed was used in VR Site specific planting from 27,000 to 34,000 plant population.

Nitrogen Use Efficiency or NUE on Circle 4 North produced .583 lbs. N per bushel produced and averaged 264 bushels per acre. This is an Exactrix record.  Considering that the 20% of the pivot was averaging well above 300 to 325 bushels per acre with 141 lbs. of N and 12 gallons of APP/ATS applied on average. In fact the best yields were with very low P and S Exactrix Uniform TAPPS rates at 5 gallons per acre.  

NUE on Circle 4 South produced .669 bushels per lb. of N and averaged 278 bushels per acre. The Circle 4 South pivot was held constant on 34,000 planting rates and was not fully variable rated based on inputs. Both P and N were over applied about 32% to 50%. N rate was 186 lbs. N. Up to 50% more Phosphate was utilized at 22 gallons per acre average…and as high as 31 gallons per acre.

Breaking the 300 bushel per acre yield bogie with .5 to .6 lbs. N per bushel produced.

Utilizing Crop Quest and Exactrix TAPPS VRT Site Specific, Exactrix TAPPS.

When it is dry and hot nutrients must be banded deep into the root zone. Center Pivots often need deep banding to get top yields in the 250 bushel to 300 bushel per acre range.  Surface applied nutrients fail to make the grade in hot and dry conditions of the western corn belt.

Deep bands at 7 to 8 inches in depth are critical in western dry conditions. Phosphate often performs at levels of 500% greater efficiency with banded TAPPS vs. spin spreaders applying dry fertilizer over the surface.

Wheat has highest yield potential when nutrients are uniformly banded. Top dressing wheat is a historical shortcut of reduced production.

Note: Exactrix has received national and regional awards for exceptional product and customer service.

Older systems built in the early 90’s can also be upgraded in certified rebuild. Tell us what you want and it will most likely be done.

All Exactrix systems are upgradeable and meet or exceed the standards of performance you would expect. 

A good deal for the previous Exactrix owner who may have traded for a new system,  a good deal for Exactrix and above all an Exactrix rebuilt system for your production team at reduced cost.

Too Much Rain, Too Little Rain. A management decision to use TAPPS with Thio-Sul®

Exactrix TAPPS banded in the root zone with grand-fathered Thio-Sul®.  The “Grand Daddy of all nitrogen stabilizers” and it costs less and makes nitrogen work at the maximum levels of performance. Thio-Sul is the last of the Triple Threat Quarterbacks, The George Blanda of Crop Nutrients. In Exactrix systems Thio-Sul has been a stellar performer in supporting top yields with crop available Ammonium Nitrogen.
