A nitrogen stabilizer, That 8 gallon rate is 25 K and 17S of highest quality KTS. Looking to Prevent Nitrogen Loss? Start Blending | Crop Vitality

A must read from Tessenderlo Kerley or TKI. You can stabilize nitrogen and not use N-serve….
..you do it will uniformity and chemical reaction with Ammonia.

Nitrogen Stabilizer….similar to Thiosul. Registered as such.

• At close of business day Feb. 10, 2023 the 10, 800 gallon transport delivery to an approved site of 85,000 gallons of farm storage, located at Lyons, KS. The price delivered is $745 per ton NH3. That means about 150 miles of trucking and a plant price of $700 per ton.
   

• Purchased through a broker normally operating with a 10% margin. The plant netted $630 per ton or about 5 to 10 times over the cost of production in a Fossil Steam Methane Reformer. If sourced Green, Zero Carbon, the green ammonia producer would have $480 per ton of additional margin.
   

• KTS priced at Lyons at $4.44 per gallon. This price is 87.5 cents per lb. of K and S.
   

• At 140 lbs. N or 44.22 cent N. $61.90. KTS at 8 gallons is $35.52. About $97.42 per acre.

Based on the point of diminishing returns and previous plots, the highest performing N rate the
 optimum N rate is between 145 lbs. N to 170 Lbs. N per acre.

Heavy rainstorms occurred twice during the vegetative stage.

A critical note regarding mixing, crystallization and accuracy.

Mixing of the of NH3 with Liquid Ammonium Poly-Phosphate and Thio-Sul® forms a highly uniform crystal of TAPPS in a lineal dilute band width.

Highest Uniformity of metering accuracy is achieved, with low 1% CV application in liquid streaming flows assures high crop availability of placed nutrients.

Commercial Fertilizer, NH3 as 82-0-0, Ammonium Poly Phosphate as10-34-0, Thio-Sul® as 12-0-0-26S and 2 quarts typical Ammoniated Zinc 15%, Potassium Thio-Sulfate, KTS® 0-0-25-17S.  

Fall Banding occurred in December of 2014 and just prior to the winter freeze of mid-December to mid-March, 2015.

Vegetative Growing period rainfall.

There was negligible rainfall between mid-March when the soil thawed and April 16.  

Rainfall from April 16 through June 24 was as follows:

The highest economic return was the Exactrix® application forming TAPPS, mixing NH3 with Thio-Sul® at 7 gallons (20 lbs. S) per acre in combination with 10-34-0 at 9 gallons (35.64 lbs. P2O5/A).

The application of TAPPS at 170 lbs. N, 35.64 P and 20S of 2.107 acre plots 108, 205, and 310 produced a mean of 253.8 bushels per acre at a total 170 lbs. N/A. This resulted in a factor of .669 lbs. of applied N per bushel produced.

An $11.00 per acre investment in Thio-Sul® resulted in an additional $44.00 of return at $4.00 per bushel. Thio-Sul® was the best overall performer as compared to N-serve®, and Guardian® DCD. Potassium Thio-Sulfate KTS®, was recognized as the second best performer.

Exactrix Uniformity at high pressure streaming NH3 and liquid flow produces typical results. Also noting historical No-tillage Rotational Band Loading of 3 years in a Corn Soybean rotation improved NUE to levels of .660 to .700 lbs./Bu.

The addition of an ammonic nitrogen stabilizer improved overall yields 2.5% to 6%.

Thio-Sul® at 20 lbs. S improved yields 4.5% and produced the best economic return for the investment. “KTS® is superior to N-Serve in yield performance”.

In the fall of 2014 at Seward, NE, large 2.1 acre plots (STEEP Type) were applied 30 times with high uniformity resulting in 63 acres of applied Exactrix® TAPPS and TAPPKTS plus controls and comparisons to N-serve and DCD.

Results replicated and randomized 3 times with 10 treatments produce an Exactrix® Nitrogen Use Efficiency of .660 to .702 lbs. N applied per bushel corn produced.

The best results as Exactrix® crystalline TAPPS show 1 bushel of corn produced at .66 lbs. of ammonic nitrogen fall applied.

Abnormally high rainfall events (3.6 in.) occurred twice in the vegetative stage between May and end of June.
