Horsepower
requirements are reduced to 75% of the shank type openers which can generally travel no
faster than 7 mph. Low soil disturbance allows low cost NH3 to be placed
without moving soil over emerging crop.
Single disc opener result in
less tillage results with higher speeds. Side dressing in notill
conditions..
Spoon feed corn...low soil
disturbance...improve the nutrient timing with virtually
no N losses and highest nitrogen use efficiency.
The EXACTRIX NH3 does
not freeze the critical ground engaging tools further decreasing horsepower and allowing
higher speeds.
High port to port accuracy using the exclusive
low Reynolds number injection nozzle allows the NH3 to be injected above the ground line
with a very narrow injection tube. Tubes with a very small outside diameter of .138 can be
used. The most common diameter is .187(3/16)
Banding EXACTRIX® generated NH3 with 10-34-0
sulfur forms TRI-AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE SULPHATE, a highly available form of plant food. Often
referred to as triple shooting it is commonly used to produce high yields in western wheat
production. Phosphate can now be banded deeper since no separation is required between the
discharge points. Freezing is a common problem with pressure reducing systems.
SINGLE DISC...INJECTOR FOOT..DUAL

Single disc openers can be adapted to the Exactrix injector
foot. The narrow 5/16” wide foot operates in the blade shadow. The foot does not
engage the soil and injects NH3 at the ground line or slightly
below the ground line. A depth control packer wheel should be
used when opener depth is between 2.5 and 4 inches. The foot
can ordered from Exactrix and provides for easy insertion of
the NH3 terminal injection nozzle. Exactrix dual stage
manifolds can be utilized with 10-34-0 and solution 32.
