    How to Boost Cotton Lint Yields with KTS

    Recent research studies conducted in collaboration with Texas A&M University have shown positive results to using KTS® in-season to meet potassium (K) needs of cotton. Application methods evaluated include side-dress coulter applications, side-dress applications through sub-surface drip irrigation and foliar applications. When using KTS in a...

    Blending KTS with UAN

    Mixing any liquid potassium source, including KTS®, with an UAN solution will form potassium nitrate, KNO3. Due to KNO3’s low solubility, precipitation will occur causing the need for water. There is a limited amount of KNO3 that can dissolve in a specific amount of water at any given temperature level. In colder environments, KNO3 is less soluble.
  • Potato Field

    Necessary Nutrients for Potatoes

    Potatoes need calcium and potassium. Without adequate supply of these nutrients, growers could experience shrink and physiological problems. To ensure good-sized, healthy potatoes from planting through storage, growers should consider two products: KTS® and CaTs® . KTS, potassium thiosulfate, is the highest analysis liquid potassium and sulfur...
