[Grower Story] TITAN XC Delivers More Nutrition from Dry Fertilizer
June 11, 2026 — Posted By Agricen

Chad Henderson - blogAbout five years ago, Chad Henderson, a corn and soybean farmer from Madison, AL, was following a standard practice of strip-tilling his fields in the fall and applying 200 pounds per acre of P and K fertilizer. Looking to improve fertilizer efficiency, he began treating his dry fertilizer with the biocatalyst TITAN XC to enhance nutrient availability and uptake.

"I'm a data-driven farmer," Chad explains. "I applied my typical fertilizer amounts and replicated the treatment six times across two different hybrids, in both irrigated and non-irrigated fields. Where TITAN XC was applied with my dry fertilizer, the corn yields consistently averaged +15 bushels more per acre compared to where my untreated fertilizer was applied."

In addition to the immediate increase in phosphorus and potassium uptake—and the corresponding yield gains—Chad observed a significant improvement in his soil nutrient profile. Year-over-year on-farm data confirmed that soil nutrient levels began improving almost immediately. The use of TITAN XC accelerated the release of existing nutrition, while also increasing the availability of nutrients that would typically remain tied up in the soil. Increased fertilizer efficiency as a result of TITAN XC treatment allows growers to realize higher yields and lower production costs per bushel.

"I've reduced my P and K application down to 100 pounds per acre and still see the same results, which is hard for some people to believe," Chad says. "I'm getting more availability while using 50% less fertilizer by treating it with TITAN XC. It improves my soil and allows me to apply less fertilizer while still achieving maximum results. It's a no-brainer in any economic situation."

Dry fertilizer is considered a standard input for corn production, but only 20-30% of applied phosphate and 20-60% of applied potash is typically available to the corn crop in the first year of application. One thing that sets TITAN XC apart is the rapid improvement in the availability and uptake of applied nutrients when TITAN XC is used to treat dry P and K fertilizers.

"We learned that we don't have to wait for warmer soils and perfect conditions for microbial functioning to increase and nutrient mineralization to occur. The production process of TITAN XC does that for us," says Chad. "So we are starting immediately with nutrient mineralization, which increases everything that follows."

TITAN XC is part of a nutrient efficiency line of products from Agricen that is available through Loveland Products and Nutrien Ag Solutions.

"At first, I didn't know what to look for. The yield increase got my attention," says Chad. "But what I discovered next was even more important: TITAN XC helped produce a stronger, more robust crop overall."

[Grower Story] N-FINITY Playing a Part in Grower’s Nitrogen Strategy
April 29, 2026 — Posted By Agricen

Chad Henderson Alabama Farmer N-FINITYChad Henderson, a fifth-generation farmer who grows corn and soybeans in Madison, Alabama, is always enthusiastic about testing new products and practices. In 2025, he tried N-FINITY, which supplements nitrogen applications by providing nitrogen from biological sources.

“When we tried N-FINITY in our 2x2 program in corn, I didn’t really know what to expect, but we saw a yield increase," says Chad. “It had about a +7-bushel advantage compared to where we didn’t use it."

That first year, Chad applied N-FINITY with his standard rate of nitrogen, but nitrogen prices this season have him considering a change.

“In our first trial, we didn't cut any nitrogen back because I was just getting to know the product. But we picked up yield from the N-FINITY, and I think I had more nitrogen in the field than I needed,” he explains. “Well, that was back when 32% UAN was $300 to $320/ton. Now, it's more like $590/ton, which makes a product like N-FINITY even more attractive. This year, we’ll do the same trial again, but we're going to cut the nitrogen back.”

Depending on field conditions, soil type and other considerations, growers who use N-FINITY may be able to consider modestly reducing their synthetic nitrogen application by 10-20%, provided that nitrogen isn’t a yield-limiting factor.

“We know for a fact that it takes a certain amount of nitrogen to raise a crop or to raise a bushel of corn. We can't just cut, cut, cut, because we’ve still got to raise the crop. So we’ve got to be strategic,” Chad notes.

In 2026, N-FINITY will be a part of that strategy for Chad. This year, he plans to reduce his applied nitrogen by 20 lbs/acre in the trial area, which will offset the cost of N-FINITY given the higher price of UAN. If the 7 bu/acre yield response from 2025 carries over to this year’s crop, the net gain would translate to $30-35/acre, assuming today’s December 2026 corn prices.

“With nitrogen prices what they are, anything that helps with nitrogen availability and uptake is where we’re at, and that’s what we saw with N-FINITY,” Chad says. “If you're looking for better availability of nitrogen, then this would be a product you look at.”

Alabama Grower Sees Impressive Corn Yield Gains in TITAN XC Trial
October 25, 2022 — Posted By Agricen

Chad Henderson, an XtremeAg farmer in Madison, Alabama, trialed TITAN XC-treated dry fertilizer on his farm in 2022. He saw impressive results in both his irrigated and dryland corn. 

"We can't wait to try this again," says Chad. "We had great results with this product."

In the trial, Chad compared his standard strip till fertilizer blend to the same fertilizer blend treated with TITAN XC at 1 pint per ton.  Both treated and untreated fertilizer blends were applied at 180 pounds per acre. Two different hybrids were in the planter, and each treatment (treated vs untreated dry fertilizer) was replicated 3 times for each hybrid in both irrigated and non-irrigated parts of the field.

In irrigated corn, Chad's average corn yield was 276.7 bu/a with his standard fertilizer blend and 293.8 bu/a with the TITAN XC-treated dry fertilizer, for a yield advantage of +17.1 bu/a compared to the check.

He saw similar results in his dryland corn, where his average corn yield was 89.8 bu/a with his standard fertilizer blend and 106.0 bu/a with the TITAN XC-treated dry fertilizer, for a yield advantage of +16.2 bu/a compared to the check.

"It was the same results through irrigated and non-irrigated," says Chad. "We're looking forward to doing some more trials with this. We were really pleased with it."

TITAN XC is an innovative biocatalyst that is formulated for application on dry fertilizers to increase nutrient efficiency and provide a yield response across diverse crops. It contains a range of beneficial biochemistries, including enzymes, that help mineralize the applied nutrients to make them more available for plant uptake and utilization.
