AgriTec System · Row crop

Wheat.

99 bushels. From soil up.

The Agricenter wheat trial is our headline proof: the full AgriTec program yielded 99 bu/ac vs. 79 bu/ac on the conventional N-only control, a +25% lift on a replicated, university-partnered trial across six plots, identical starting soil (pH 5.4).

01 / Growers running this program

Mississippi · 2022

"I applied your Nitro-Maxx+ to my winter wheat. Within a week you could see it going to work. I've never seen nitrogen work so fast or efficient. Where I overlapped you could see a distinct line that was even greener."
— Rusty Winter wheat

Kansas · 2022

"Used Nitro-Maxx and 10-20-10 on wheat. The neighbor bought Nitro-Maxx as well but never put it on, and you can tell a huge difference between my fields and his."
— Garrett Visible vs neighbor

North Carolina · 2024

"The product worked good. Averaged 75 bu/ac on my wheat that I put it on."
— Andy 75 bu/ac

02 / The growth plan

From emergence to harvest: one plan, stage by stage.

The whole wheat season up top, then the general program below. Every pass is shown at the exact stage it targets, so the picture and the plan line up.

This is a general roadmap, not an exact prescription for your farm. No two fields, soil tests, planting dates, or seasons line up the same way, so your stages, rates, and timing will differ. Treat the timeline below as the shape of the program; we size the exact stack and pin every pass to your soil test and your acres.

The plan, pass by pass, pinned to the stage it works

Each pass has a window. Hit it and it pays; miss it and the dollar's mostly spent.

  1. Wheat at Pre-plant
    Pre-plant Pre-plant

    Advanced-Cal

    5 gal/ac

    pH 5.4 → 6.4 across replicated plots. Foundation step.

  2. Wheat at Seeding · Emergence
    Seeding · Emergence At seeding

    10-20-10+

    4 gal/ac

    Ortho P + K for early root development.

  3. Wheat at Tillering
    Tillering Top-dress

    Nitro-Maxx+

    6–8 gal/ac

    Slow-release N through tillering + heading.

  4. Wheat at Flag leaf
    Flag leaf Foliar

    YieldMaker

    1 qt/ac

    Kelp + micros at flag leaf. Drives test weight.

  5. Wheat at Any pass · Soil

    Aerate

    10 oz/ac

    Breaks compaction so the program reaches the root zone.

What's driving the response

Calcium first

Wheat plateaus on low-calcium ground. Advanced-Cal raises soil pH from 5.4 to ~6.4 in weeks (not months) and rebuilds calcium base saturation.

Orthophosphate + K

10-20-10+ feeds root development and grain fill with phosphorus that's immediately plant-available.

Slow-release N

Nitro-Maxx+ delivers nitrogen across tillering, jointing, and heading without burn risk.

Foliar finish

YieldMaker at flag leaf: kelp + micronutrients defending test weight and protein.
