Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  Fertilizer Coating: Can you prove that the DDP actually increases the level of the nutrient in the plant?

A.  Wolf Trax conducts an extensive testing and evaluation program to ensure our products actually increase the level of the nutrient in the plant. These results prove that our products are designed to work under the toughest conditions, and they work consistently, regardless of crop or geography.

Q.  Fertilizer Coating: Are any additional products or equipment needed when coating dry fertilizer blends with a DDP? 

A.  No additional equipment or products are required.  In basic terms, the DDP adheres to all dry fertilizer blends (including Urea) by micro-static adhesion.  All you have to do is add the DDP to the blender and let it coat while blending the dry fertilizer blend. 

Q.  Fertilizer Coating: Will the coating stay on the blend when transported or handled?

A.  The following table shows the variance of a Wolf Trax DDP coated onto a nitrogen blend.  The blue line shows the normal variance of nitrogen content when a dry fertilizer blend is handled.  The red line shows the variance in the levels of DDP in the blend.  As you can see, the level of DDP on the macro granules remains virtually unchanged from the blender to the field.

Variance of Wolf Trax DDP Blend
This data shows the variance of a Wolf Trax DDP micronutrient coated onto a nitrogen blend. The bottom line shows the normal variance of nitrogen content when a dry fertilizer blend is handled. The top line shows the variance in the levels of DDP in the blend. As the blend travels from the blender to the truck to the seeder, the DDP micronutrient stays blended evenly throughout. The evenness of the blend stays true right through to the field.

Q.  Foliar: Can you prove that the DDP actually increases the level of the nutrient in the plant?

A.  Wolf Trax conducts an extensive testing and evaluation program to ensure our products actually increase the level of the nutrient in the plant. These results prove that our products are designed to work under the toughest conditions, and they work consistently, regardless of crop or geography.

Q.  Foliar: Can DDPs be mixed with crop protection products for foliar application?

A.  Wolf Trax is continually testing the efficacy of popular herbicides with their DDP products.  This testing goes beyond just making sure that the two will mix together (standard jar test), but rather is on-going field testing on efficacy of mixes to assure continued control of your crop protection products. To date, we have not found a true efficacy issue with any of the most popular herbicides, but for more information on a particular product call Kerry Green at Wolf Trax head office (204-237-9653). We also recommend doing a compatibility test the first time you use these products as local water conditions may have an effect.
