At Nutrien Ag Solutions' Snake River Division in Idaho, Josh Perotto and his team have been looking at the benefits of treating dry fertilizer with Titan XC in potato growing operations over the past two years.

In a split-farm trial harvested in 2020, the grower's potato yield was increased by +105.1 sacks per acre where his dry fertilizer had been treated with Titan XC to maximize prill breakdown and nutrient release, as compared to yield where untreated dry fertilizer had been spread. There were also fewer culls (unmarketable potatoes) where Titan XC had been used.

Our latest webinar, "Opportunities to Influence Early Season Crop Health," is now available to watch online. 

During the on-demand crop health webinar, you will learn:

• What steps you can take to optimize early season crop health

• How Accomplish LM, Extract PBA and Titan XC can fit into your growing program this spring to maximize yield outcomes this season 

You'll see how each technology works to increase nutrient availability and uptake for improved plant health early in the growing season, which can translate into better crop health and higher yields at the end of the season.

We often focus on Accomplish LM in corn, soybean or wheat crops, but the benefits of Accomplish LM technology also extend to specialty crops like potatoes. A recent side by side comparison from a 2019 potato trial in Grafton, North Dakota shows earlier potato emergence and more robust plants when Accomplish LM has been added to the grower's standard potato fertilizer program. In this trial, Accomplish LM was applied at planting with 10-34-0, placed below the seed in a band.
