TBS,

You have to follow the whole thread between me and the other fellow to get the context ... he was asking if I thought that having a TK only mixture composed of different coarse grades could provide a fertilizer release profile that could provide nutrients across the complete required time line for the crop.

My answer to that question was "no". The reason I said no is because my sense is there is a point of diminishing return where no matter how fine you grind the TK, it will not dissolve fast enough to provide a quick release boost to the plant like KCL ... hence the need for both KCL for the initial boost and TK for the slow release, long-lasting needs.

Again - I want to stress that I am guessing. I still believe that TK has been proven to be as good as KCL for carrots under the conditions tested and that the engineers believe they can tweak the TK (by adjusting the coarseness) to make a better slow release product.
