In 2015, a multi-site, replicated field trial was conducted in Rwanda to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients as part of an early season fertiliser program for wheat production. Micronutrient strategies including Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients resulted in significantly higher wheat yields than the current fertiliser practice.

In 2015, a multi-site, replicated field trial was conducted in Rwanda to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients as part of an early season fertiliser program for bean production. Application of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients resulted in comparable yields to Ferticoat™ and significantly higher yields than the granular micronutrients and the foliar micronutrient strategy.

In 2015, a multi-site, replicated field trial was conducted in Rwanda to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients as part of an early season fertiliser program for maize production. Application of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients resulted in significantly higher maize yields than the current fertiliser practice or granular micronutrients and was comparable to the foliar micronutrient strategy.

A replicated, multi-site field study was initiated in Brazil to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients – compared to granular micronutrients and oil-based micronutrient coatings – as part of an early season fertilizer program for dry bean production. Under the conditions of this study, DDP Nutrients resulted in significant yield increases.

A replicated, multi-site field study was conducted in Brazil to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients – compared to granular micronutrients and oil-based micronutrient coatings – as part of an early season fertilizer program for soybean production. DDP Nutrients significantly increased soybean yield relative to all other micronutrient products.

In 2016, a replicated field study was conducted in the Columbia Basin to evaluate the performance of Wolf Trax DDP® Nutrients and Nu-Trax P+™ in potatoes. Separate applications of Nu-Trax P+ or Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients provided considerable yield benefits, and best results were obtained when Nu-Trax P+ and Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients were applied in a combined approach.

Adequate levels of zinc and boron are necessary in corn production to ensure proper growth and development, as well as optimum yield. Maintaining sufficient zinc in the soil enables corn seedlings to forage for the water and nutrients they need. Boron is necessary for tassel and silk formation, sugar transport, pollination and seed production, enhanced water use efficiency and drought tolerance.

Boron is essential for pollination and seed production in canola, so it’s important to keep this nutrient in mind. Adequate levels of boron in canola are also necessary for proper cell wall formation, root development and pollen tube fertilization. Delivering boron when and where the plant needs the nutrient will help you reach the full yield potential of your hybrid.

Alfalfa has a high requirement for boron and is among the crops that are most likely to suffer from a boron deficiency. Boron is essential for proper cell formation, faster regrowth after cuttings, and improved winter hardiness. There is a small window between nutrient sufficiency and toxicity when it comes to boron, so it’s especially important to consider the 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship.

A side-by-side field demonstration was conducted at the 2016 Ag in Motion Event in Saskatoon, SK to evaluate the benefits of Nu-Trax P+ as part of an early-season fertilizer program for canola production. Wolf Trax Boron DDP® was also included in the program. Under the conditions of this study, Nu-Trax P+ and Boron DDP resulted in a yield increase of 2 bu/ac over the control.
