EXACTRIX Payback Corn

"Intensive soil sampling has revealed a cyclic pattern to the nitrate levels in a lot of fields. This pattern often corresponds to the width of the NH3 applicator. We see a range of ten parts per million (ppm) to 60. Twenty-five ppm is optimum; 10 ppm is really deficient"

Applying too little nitrogen cuts Yields and profits

Overapplying nitrogen results in losses to leaching and negative results under the rule of diminishing returns. Risk to reward is unfavorable to long term profitability.

Electronic pressure reducing systems Raven, Dickey-john, Micro-trak as a complete system average $5,000. for a 11 port system. An ExactrixŽ system will return the difference in the first 100 acres of application. The entire system will payback the original investment in 1000 acres in corn production compared to solution 32 application.

Electronic and mechanical pressure reducing systems require NH3 to be applied at rates 30% to 50% higher than Exactrix... and never achieving the yields of ExactrixŽ.

Each ExactrixŽ liquid NH3 high pressure port is accurate. . less opener loss is observed and better sealing results since the NH3 is driven deeper into the soil as a much higher pressure liquid compressed gas.

Pressure reducing systems often have problematic openers that are receiving 3 to 4 times more NH3 than the adjoining opener. Opener sealing and opener freezing are typical problems of pressure reducing systems.

Pressure reducing systems require tillage ExactrixŽ Direct Injection NH3 uses very low soil disturbance single disc openers. True No-till placement of NH3 results

Single disc openers with pressure increasing direct injection ExactrixŽ NH3 allows shallower NH3 placement depths....a 3" and 4" placement depth is common

Less tractor horsepower is required. Pressure reducing systems require lower speeds with higher fuel consumption. Single disc fifteen inch band spacing is now possible for superior secondary root access.

Corn roots show less damage in side dressing with Exactrix and approved openers. The sidedressing window extends to 60 days after planting. Emerging corn has less potential to damage from soil movement. Side dressing without tillage at double the ground speeds.... ExactrixŽ pressuring increasing direct injection NH3 offers unique timing advantages.

ExactrixŽ has no opener freezing and superior cold weather performance to 20* F. The Fall NH3 application window is extended 14 to 21 days....custom applicators get early morning starts irregardless of tank pressure.

Custom applicators offer extra value to their customers ExactrixŽ custom applicators often double their acres due higher speed and less horsepower. ExactrixŽ custom applicators have a major equipment advantage over their competition Custom applicators meet environment demands with ExactrixŽ.

Seeing is believing... Go to the X-1 6 Aerial Photos Even precise application produces higher yields with the lowest cost form of N. Nitrate leaching is reduced with timing and ExactrixŽ. Expense cash flow for N is reduced with ExactrixŽ.... gain up to 8 months before you pay for N and take a higher yield 120 days after N application.

Remember.... NH3 has been, currently is and always will be the lowest cost form of nitrogen NH3 is the most soil stable of all liquid nitrogen sources

NH3 is manufactured as a clear and consistent 82% N high analysis material ExactrixŽ Direct Injection NH3 has the greatest potential for top returns with variable rate site specific technology. Corn producers need NH3 to strongly compete in world markets.

The two biggest factors in Corn production are moisture and nitrogen... .Ask any agronomist....check out the various university internet Websites Long term profitability is possible with these two critical factors in your management tool box.

The lowest cost per bushel produced and the lowest level of risk is achieved with application timing and
