4 DDP Fertilizer Coating DDP Fertilizer Coating Accurate delivery, right to the roots When blended with dry fertilizer, the Wolf Trax unique formulation and micro-static adhesion ensures that the DDP Micronutrients thoroughly coat each and every prill of the fertilizer blend. Consistent blends are maintained throughout blending, handling and application to the field. Wolf Trax DDP technology provides 100 percent fertilizer coverage with micronutrients. In comparison, granular micronutrients make up less than five percent of the final fertilizer blend, making even distribution across the field much harder. Fertilizer coated with Iron DDP Improved plant uptake When applied as a coating to dry fertilizer (including urea), Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients are accessed the moment the seedling roots find the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus fertilizer in the soil. Granular Micronutrient 2 granules of granular micronutrient in a 15" x 5" x 3" soil profile based on 35% zinc at 5 lb/acre. DDP Micronutrient Fertilizer Coating 153 granules of fertilizer (interception point for roots), all coated with DDP Micronutrient in a 15" x 5" x 3" soil profile based on 150 lb/acre of fertilizer blend. DDP Fertilizer Coating technology ensures even, consistent blends that result in consistent and even distribution throughout the root zone. This provides many more interception points for roots to access micronutrients compared to traditional granular micronutrients.

5 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Proven to perform Through growth chamber, small plot and field trials, Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients are proven to perform, even on high ph soils. Plant tissue analysis proves Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients can spark early uptake and better plant health. Plant uptake of Zinc DDP versus untreated on corn Wolf Trax 159.7% Untreated 100% Plant Uptake (ppm) In this trial, Wolf Trax Zinc DDP, coated on granular fertilizer, delivered 60% more micronutrient to the plant, 7 days after emergence. (Loam soil, ph 8.2) At Wolf Trax, we are committed to extensive research and development. research database includes results of hundreds of trials on different types of soils proving the performance of DDP Micronutrients. See for yourself at Plant uptake of Zinc DDP versus untreated on soybeans Wolf Trax 125.5% Untreated 100% Plant Uptake (ppm) In this trial, Wolf Trax Zinc DDP, coated on granular fertilizer, delivered 26% more micronutrient to the plant, 7 days after emergence. (Clay loam soil, ph 8.0) 4

6 DDP Fertilizer Coating Consistent blends, right to your farmers fields Fertilizer blender-operators work hard to deliver even and consistent fertilizer blends to their farm customers. Because Wolf Trax DDP Fertilizer Coating micronutrients coat each and every prill of N, P or K, this is easier than ever before. Typical zinc or boron granular micronutrients are often heavier than the N, P or K in the fertilizer blend. Higher bulk densities and variations in granule size can cause the micronutrient to settle out of the blend after it leaves the fertilizer plant, resulting in inconsistent and uneven application onto the field. Typical Element Bulk Density Standard (lbs/ft 3 ) Bulk Density Metric (Kg/m 3 ) Nitrogen (N) 45 to to 944 Phosphorus (P) 58 to to 1088 Potassium (K) 65 to to % Boron Granule 29 to to 1041 With Wolf Trax, you don t have to worry about the differences in bulk density between the 35% Zinc Granule 80 to to 1680 micronutrient and the N, P and K. Blend integrity will not come undone during transport from the blender to the field. Your customers will benefit from the next step forward in farming an even and consistent application of micronutrients in their fertilizer blend. Getting good consistent fertilizer blends that include granular micronutrients is hard work with the micronutrients typically falling through the blend once in transport. But with Wolf Trax DDP Fertilizer Coating, those days are over. You can deliver consistent, even blends right through to your farmers fields every time. Consistently better quality What sets Wolf Trax apart is our formulation. While many competitors products are by-products of other manufacturing processes, Wolf Trax Micronutrients are custom designed and formulated to optimize plant availability. We have strict standards for quality that suppliers must adhere to and we use feed and pharmaceutical grade source material. All of our manufacturing facilities are certified for quality control.

7 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Micronutrient Myth-buster Myth I can t control blend consistency outside the fertilizer plant. When blending granular micronutrients in a dry fertilizer blend (N, P, K, urea, etc.), fertilizer plant managers work hard to create even and consistent blends. Unfortunately, until recently, that s the best the blender could do. What he couldn t control is what happens during the trip from the fertilizer plant to the farmer s field. With traditional granular micronutrients, the blend inevitably becomes inconsistent because they have significantly different densities and particle size than the fertilizer prills they are mixed with (See table on opposite page). As Gary Tuxhorn, Agronomy Technical Service Manager at United Suppliers says, Micronutrient distribution in the field has to be managed. Many micronutrients, like zinc sulphate, are denser than the N, P and K in the blend. High bulk density means they start to fall to the bottom of the load once it gets on the truck to go to the farmer s fields. In a recent trial, two fertilizer blends of urea and MAP and granular zinc and boron, were sampled from the top, middle and bottom of the load after travelling twelve miles on both gravel and pavement. Blend analysis showed boron levels to vary by 36% while zinc sulphate varied by 50%. The blend that the blender operator works so hard to achieve may not be the same blend that hits the farmer s field. In comparison, Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients coat each and every fertilizer prill, for even and consistent blends. Blend analysis of a fertilizer blend coated with Zinc DDP from the blender, to the truck, to the applicator showed variability of less than 3%. Myth Busted! Fertilizer blends coated with Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients maintain blend consistency right to the farmer s fields. MAP evenly coated with Boron DDP MAP blended with granular Boron 6

8 DDP Fertilizer Coating Less is more Plants do not require pounds of micronutrients to reach full yield potential. This runs counter to the common recommendation that farmers apply high rates of micronutrients to deficient soils. This practice was based on the use of granular micronutrient technology that may be inefficiently distributed in the soil. Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients are designed to coat and adhere to each prill of dry N, P or K fertilizer. Recommended rates are lower than traditional micronutrient rates because we are able to use the fertilizer prills to more effectively deliver the micronutrient throughout the soil profile and right up to the plant s roots. Recommended rates are based on the plant s needs. Better for you, better for the environment Switching to Wolf Trax does more than increase results in the field - it directly benefits the environment as well. Simply by switching to Wolf Trax from a traditional zinc sulphate, a retailer treating approximately 6000 acres (2400 hectares) with zinc can reduce the total amount of transportation fuel used (and associated greenhouse gases) by over 130 gallons (550 litres). Isn t it good to know that you are making a positive contribution to agriculture and environmental sustainability? You can relax, knowing that your customers and employees can safely handle Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients with low heavy metals. And, the high analysis, efficient distribution of fertilizer coating means lower rates are needed, resulting in the next step forward in farming a lower environmental load to your farmers fields. Lower shipping and handling costs All Wolf Trax Micronutrients are high analysis products so less product volume and handling is required. For example, used in a fertilizer coating application, one unit of Wolf Trax Zinc DDP can replace 13 units of commonly used granular 35% zinc. This means that two pallets of Wolf Trax DDP is equivalent to one full truckload of a typical granular micronutrient which frees up floor or bin space for other inventory. This saves on handling and transportation costs. Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrient packaging

9 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Micronutrient Myth-buster Myth My soil needs 5 lbs of zinc to adequately feed the crop. For years, the common recommendation to farmers has been to apply fairly high rates of micronutrients to deficient soils, says Mark Goodwin, Director of Research and Development for Wolf Trax. That s because rates were based on traditional granular micronutrient technology, which are inefficiently distributed in the soil. Zinc is critically important to plant health, but plants typically need very little of this nutrient. The table below compares traditional zinc application rates with what plants need, and shows that we ve often been applying 5 to 100 times the amount that the plant needs. Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients are designed to coat and adhere to each prill of dry N, P or K fertilizer, thereby delivering the micronutrient throughout the soil profile, and right up to the plants roots. The greater distribution and better root interception overall ensures the plant finds the applied zinc. Therefore, recommended rates for DDP Micronutrients differ significantly from granular micronutrients. Wolf Trax recommended rates are based on plant needs, not building the soil, says Goodwin. By intelligently applying the right amount of micronutrient in an available form directly to the plant s roots, we can reduce the amount of micronutrient we ve applied in the past while still achieving the desired result. Myth Busted! Plants do not require pounds of zinc to reach full yield potential. Crop Yield Zinc (lbs/acre) Crop Need Typical App. Rate % of Crop Need Corn 180 bu ,111% Cotton 2 bales % Wheat 80 bu ,724% Soybeans 50 bu ,000% Inefficient and inconsistent distribution of traditional granular micronutrients through the field lead to higher application rates. 8

One more way for you to help your customers take the next step forward in farming.

11 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Micronutrient Myth-buster Myth Water solubility is the only feature I need to consider when choosing a soil-applied micronutrient. With hundreds of micronutrient brands on the market, it s no wonder we look for a simple test to tell us which are most effective. For some, that test is water solubility. In fact, water solubility may be the single most important factor for traditional granular micronutrients, where movement in the soil is critical because of large distances between granules. As the table below shows, even assuming perfectly even application across a field, one zinc granule must feed a large surface area. It is more important to evaluate crop response to micronutrients, and consider factors that influence this response such as: Is the micronutrient in an available form? Is the micronutrient in the right place (close to the growing roots)? Is the micronutrient applied at the right time? Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients give you water solubility and more ensuring maximum distribution and early uptake. DDP Micronutrients are formulated to coat dry fertilizer effectively, resulting in even and consistent distribution throughout the blend. And, the unique DDP Formulation helps avoid tie-up in the soil. Distribution of 30% granular ZnSO 4 across the field Application Rate Square inches covered by one granule 1 lb/ac lb/ac 51 3 lb/ac 34 4 lb/ac 25 5 lb/ac 20 Myth Busted! Focusing solely on water solubility when comparing micronutrients ignores placement and timing as critical factors affecting plant response. Even at high rates, and assuming even blending and distribution, distance between zinc granules in the field is large. Each granule must cover a large area. 10

12 DDP Micronutrients in a Foliar Application Improved Uptake with Dual Action Availability Only Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients are formulated for Dual Action Availability, providing immediate plant uptake (within 48 hours) together with continuous feeding over time. This innovative formulation ensures micronutrients are available to the plant and deficiencies corrected during critical growth stages. Wolf Trax DDP demonstrates Dual Action Availability 300 Concentration (ppm) days 10 days 14 days 21 days Wolf Trax DDP Seqestered Liquid Suspension While sequestered micronutrients provide quick uptake, and liquid suspension products delay availability, only Wolf Trax exclusive Dual Action Formulation provides BOTH immediate and extended access to micronutrients. Flexible spray timing The unique Dual Action Formulation enables your customers to spray when it s most convenient. When Wolf Trax Micronutrients are applied as a foliar with a pesticide or liquid fertilizer, nutrient uptake can be measured within 48 hours and for at least four weeks after application. Farmers can time micronutrient applications to coincide with pesticide applications for optimal pest control without losing the effectiveness of the micronutrients. Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients with Dual Action Availability are the only micronutrients on the market that offer this unprecedented flexibility. Wolf Trax DDP formulation techniques are similar to those used to produce agrochemicals, making DDP Micronutrients compatible with most pesticides.

13 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Thanks to the Dual Action Availability of Wolf Trax Micronutrients used in a foliar application, your customers get the best of both worlds immediate plant availability followed by slower and sustained feeding. Help your customers take advantage of one-pass application efficiency with Wolf Trax. The next step forward in farming. Superior application Wolf Trax DDP is formulated to disperse almost instantly in water. It takes less than 60 seconds for a 20-acre (or 10-hectare) mix to disperse in water. The micronutrient stays in suspension. It doesn t settle out under agitation. This means your customers can be assured that the last plant sprayed receives the same level of micronutrients as the first plant. More importantly, the micronutrient will not clog up application equipment. Your customer s crop gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it. Proven performance Wolf Trax products undergo some of the most extensive testing of any micronutrient products on the market today. Our products are tested for efficacy, compatibility, and mixability in the lab and field, and tested under the actual conditions in which they will be used.

14 DDP Micronutrients in a Foliar Application Crop safe The need for micronutrients in horticultural crops is high and availability at specific times of growth is critical. The high quality Wolf Trax DDP formulation ensures plant uptake without harming the sensitive leaves of the plant. When researchers set out to damage crops deliberately with Wolf Trax DDP Micronutrients, applying at a high rate on the most susceptible crops in high temperatures, they were surprised by the crop safety. One researcher stated, I tried everything I could to create damage with Wolf Trax Calcium DDP. Days and weeks later, it never occurred. You can feel confident recommending Wolf Trax to your customers. These photos, taken after application on lemon leaves under high temperatures, demonstrate the excellent crop safety of Wolf Trax DDP micronutrients in foliar-applied treatments. On the left, Wolf Trax Manganese DDP was applied at 2-times the recommended application rate at +100-degree F temperatures with no injury to lemon leaves. On the right, Wolf Trax Iron DDP was applied under the same conditions. (Study conducted by University of Arizona).

15 Wolf Trax Innovative Micronutrients Guidelines for successful foliar application Wolf Trax tests in-tank compatibility and efficacy and can provide this information, taking water quality and local conditions into account. Please note that local water conditions may affect compatibility. A jar test should be done the first time a DDP Micronutrient is used. Wolf Trax continues to provide technical support and update best use practices for foliar applications of DDP Micronutrients. Please visit for application instructions, and specific guidelines for tank mixing. Or, call to speak with us in person. Committed to quality We regularly test our micronutrient products with a variety of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides in tank-mixes in order to provide the best information possible. This testing goes beyond just making sure that the two will mix together with a standard jar test. Our lab and field-testing on the efficacy of pesticide mixes is ongoing to ensure crop protection is not compromised. Less heavy lifting and fewer worries Because Wolf Trax Micronutrients are high analysis powders, there s less product volume and handling required. For example, one pallet of Wolf Trax Zinc DDP will treat as many acres or hectares as seven pallets of typical foliar products (9% liquid chelated zinc). This means much less storage space is required with far less handling, mixing and lifting. All our products are backed by the Growing Forward Guarantee. And because of the extensive research and evaluation program carried out by Wolf Trax, we have the information to advise you about how to make the most of a foliar application in your area. 14
