This winter wheat field in Burns Flat, Oklahoma was sown with 70 lbs of DAP applied in furrow at planting in late October 2024. Alternating strips were sown at the same time with 70 lbs of DAP impregnated with TITAN XC, also applied in furrow. The difference is clear. The strips where TITAN XC was used are green, while the strips with the untreated DAP are still light, owing to the wheat plants being less developed.
The grower, who planted this field in a serpentine pattern, had treated his DAP fertilizer with TITAN XC (at a rate of 1 pint/ton of DAP) to increase nutrient availability and fertilizer efficiency. Before he was able to finish the field, he ran out of the TITAN XC blend, leading him to apply only DAP at the same rate to finish the field.
A close up of the field more clearly shows TITAN XC's impact. Wheat planted in the strips with untreated DAP are farther behind compared to those planted where TITAN XC-treated fertilizer was applied.
Phosphorus is known for binding with other minerals like calcium and aluminum in the soil, making it unavailable to the plant, while potassium can bind with clay soil particles that prevent the plant from taking up this vital nutrient.
TITAN XC can be blended with dry fertilizers such as DAP, MAP, potash and MEZ to increase nutrient availability and improve plant uptake. When applied to dry fertilizer blends, the biochemistry in TITAN XC accelerates the conversion of unavailable phosphorus and potassium into forms that are readily taken up by the plant and keeps these nutrients in an available form longer for crop utilization. In this way, TITAN XC technology can help growers get more out of their dry fertilizer applications.
