[Loveland Products](http://www.lovelandproducts.com/) recently conducted a quick demonstration to quantify the rate of enhanced fertilizer breakdown with Titan XC. The results show that Titan XC does what it says. The demo compared [Titan XC](https://www.agricen.com/products/titan-xc)-treated versus untreated 6-6-18 fertilizer. The starting weight of each of the 8 samples tested in this demo (4 untreated and 4 treated) was 15 grams. All samples were submerged in distilled water for 72 hours, then screened off and weighed. In every case, more Titan XC-treated fertilizer was dissolved compared to untreated fertilizer. Overall, Titan XC increased fertilizer breakdown by an average of 32%.

[![Breakdown_of_6-6-18_Fertilizer_15_g.png](https://blog.agricen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Breakdown_of_6-6-18_Fertilizer_15_g.png?width=600&name=Breakdown_of_6-6-18_Fertilizer_15_g.png "Breakdown_of_6-6-18_Fertilizer_15_g.png")](https://www.agricen.com/products/titan-xc) In addition, analysis of the distilled water after the fertilizer was screened off showed a 25-83% increase in nutrient content (depending on the nutrient) in favor of [Titan XC](https://www.agricen.com/products/titan-xc) versus untreated fertilizer. Although there are many different variables at play when it comes to prill breakdown (e.g., things such as application timing, rainfall/soil moisture, or incorporated vs. no-till practices), this quick demonstration shows that incorporating Titan XC into a dry fertilizer application speeds prill breakdown and rapidly releases nutrients for plant uptake. --- *See more results by [accessing our featured study](https://info.agricen.com/titan-xc-fertilizer-prill-breakdown-study) on fertilizer prill breakdown with Titan XC.* [![See More Prill Breakdown Results](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/269648/6acd8f89-ebb9-494d-91d3-5539f2ffddf7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/269648/6acd8f89-ebb9-494d-91d3-5539f2ffddf7)  #### Listen to the Blog Post ### Topics: [Dry Fertilizer](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/topic/dry-fertilizer#blog-listing) ,  [TITAN](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/topic/titan#blog-listing) ### Subscribe to Email Updates [ Watch Agricen’s Featured Videos ](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/faster-fertilizer-prill-breakdown-titan-xc-demo#!) ![Blog-videos-thumb](https://blog.agricen.com/hubfs/Blog-videos-thumb.jpg) ### Sign Up for Agricen’s Blog to stay up to date on the latest news.
