Fertilizer coated with DDP
DDP Nutrients deliver early nutrition
Highly Effective PlantActiv™ formulation

Earlier delivery of nutrients
153 granules of fertilizer throughout rooting depth, all coated with DDP Micronutrients mean better
root interception (15x5x3 inch soil profile)
2 granules of micronutrient are sparsely distributed and
leave micronutrient fertilization to chance
DDP Coating of 0.9 lb/ac on 150 lb/ac 34-17 dry blend
Typical granular micronutrient at 5
lb/ac
#3 - Innovative FlexUse™ Design
• Wolf Trax DDP nutrients can also be applied in a liquid or foliar system
• B, Mn are highly soluble
= Flexibility to feed the crop when it needs it
Maintain the “optimal” rate throughout the growing season

DDP Fertilizer coating:
An alternative approach
• Does not fall out or segregate like
granular micronutrients
DDP delivers a consistent blend
• EvenCoat™ Technology
– DDP products coat each and every fertilizer granule
– Do not come off
– High quality blends from blender to spreader to field
USE BETTER MICRONUTRIENT PLACEMENT TECHNIQUES
Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm
“You cannot achieve an even distribution of micronutrient across your field with granular micronutrients because of tendency to segregate and settle.”

• Uneven distribution can cause:
– Deficient areas
– Toxic areas
– Uneven crop maturation
• Difficulty in timing sprays & harvests
– LOST YIELDS!
Distribution of granular micronutrients
Granules are 10 to 12 inches apart (as in the field)
What does inconsistent placement mean? Granules
Excess boron (11.4 ppm)
Deficient (0 ppm)
(Optimal level of B = 1 to 2 ppm)
DDP fertilizer with EvenCoat™ Technology gives you better distribution across the
field
• Even Coating
• Consistent distribution
• Many feeding sites
• Close proximity to plant roots
EARLY FERTILIZATION IS IMPORTANT
Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm
Your crop = factory
• Job is to collect sunlight and make sugar.
• How to make factory run faster, earlier, run longer and produce more?
Strategy for Early Delivery of Nutrients...
----Critical Growth Period--------
Critical Growth Period
• Patented, seed-
applied fertilizer
– Zinc, Manganese, Iron
• Safely delivers
essential nutrients
directly to the seed
• Nutrients available as
soon as the radicle
emerges
Early nutrition means longer, more developed roots
PROTINUS-treated corn seed results in larger roots West Point, NE
Early nutrition helps crops withstand early season stress
Hot and dry conditions in the Red River Valley Cool and wet conditions in southern SD
. . . How important is early delivery of Zinc?
• University of Kentucky evaluated PROTINUS
• Based on replicated results, PROTINUS out-yielded the control by 16.5 bu/ac.

Better distribution,
closer proximity to roots
• Uptake of P happens very early in the season
Days After Planting
Early fertilization with P is critical

What is Nu-Trax™ P+
• Nu-Trax P+ is a fertilizer practice that does a better job of delivering the right combination of nutrients for early growth compared to granular phosphorous fertilizers alone. – NEW Nutrient Tool – More than just Phosphorus . . . . P+
– New tool in P sensitive areas
The Fit on your Farm
• Depending on your…
– Soil test
– Farming system
– Yield environment
Nu-Trax P+ can be used to replace or
complement your current Phosphorus fertilizer
applications
TIME YOUR APPLICATION TO MATCH THE CROP’S NEEDS
Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm
WHEN do Plants Need a Micronutrient? . . . Timing?
• Answer: Delivery needs to occur BEFORE needed for biological processes
• Fixing deficiencies or “just-in-time” applications WILL rob yield
• The micronutrient is needed WEEKS before deficiency symptoms
• Most often a “Hidden Hunger” not deficient
Why is Timing Important?
• Most micronutrients DO NOT move well within the plant or soil
Immobile within PLANT Boron? Zinc Copper Manganese Iron

Manganese

No movement to new growth after application
