Why Wolf Trax products help growers Innovation that solve problems Overcome the two main drawbacks of granular products Extensive Testing and Evaluation Quality We Stand Behind our Products Growing Forward

What We Sell - Wolf Trax innovative nutrients DDP Nutrients Seed Nutrition Available soon What makes our innovations unique?

#1 - Innovative PlantActiv Formulation DDP Nutrients have been designed for optimum plant availability and optimum application flexibility Chemical Formulation Dual Action formulation Resist Soil Tie-Up Physical Formulation Ideal particle size for uptake DDP = Dry Dispersible Powder Technology

#2 - Innovative EvenCoat Technology A more efficient application option Patented Coating Technology Each and every fertilizer granule is coated Improves distribution in the field Use less nutrient to get better uptake Fertilizer coated with DDP

DDP Nutrients deliver early nutrition Highly Effective PlantActiv formulation + Better distribution with EvenCoat Technology = Earlier delivery of nutrients 153 granules of fertilizer throughout rooting depth, all coated with DDP Micronutrients mean better root interception (15x5x3 inch soil profile) DDP Coating of 0.9 lb/ac on 150 lb/ac 34-17 dry blend 2 granules of micronutrient are sparsely distributed and leave micronutrient fertilization to chance 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 Nutrients Zinc DDP (62%) Copper DDP (57.5%) Magnesium (20.0%) Manganese DDP (33%) Boron DDP (18.5%) Iron DDP (47%) Calcium DDP (27%) CropMix DDP Wolf Trax nutrients are unlike any other in the market. They really are in a class of their own.

Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm this Season

Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING A CONSISTENT FERTILIZER BLEND

Blend Consistency Achieving consistent blends is difficult!

Particle size difference Variable Particle Size Granular Zinc Variable Particle Size Granular Boron

Urea BD 36.7 35% Zinc Granule BD 57.6

Zinc Granules are much heavier than NPK What happens when blended and spread? KCl Zinc Granules % More Dense AMS DAP MAP Urea 0 10 20 30 40 50 60

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

Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm USE BETTER MICRONUTRIENT PLACEMENT TECHNIQUES

You cannot achieve an even distribution of micronutrient across your field with granular micronutrients because of tendency to segregate and settle.

Field Example Floater traveled 9 miles with a granular Zn, Boron blend, then applied the fertilizer to a field

PPM 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 1400 1500-2000 2001-2500 2501-3000 3000-3500 Distribution of ZINC throughout the Field START

Distribution of BORON throughout the Field PPM >100 START 100 200 300 400 11 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100

Blend Consistency - Analyticals Variability of Granular Micronutrients in NPK blend Variability of DDP in NPK blend Cu Oxysulphate +/- 39.5% Granubor +/- 44.0% Zinc DDP +/- 0.06% Cu DDP +/- 0.14% Mn DDP +/- 0.01% B DDP +/- 0.18%

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

Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm EARLY FERTILIZATION IS IMPORTANT

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, seedapplied 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

YIELD (BU/AC)... 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. 205 200 195 190 185 University of Kentucky Corn Yield Trial 200.1 200.1 183.6 180 175 PROTINUS Control

DDP Nutrients deliver early nutrition Better distribution, closer proximity to roots

Early fertilization with P is critical Uptake of P happens very early in the season Days After Planting

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

Top Ways to Make Micros Pay on Your Farm TIME YOUR APPLICATION TO MATCH THE CROP S NEEDS

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 Immobile within SOIL Zinc Copper Manganese Iron Phosphorus

No movement to new growth after application

Nutrients move naturally through xylem as the plant grows One issue with soil applied micronutrients has been scarcity P B P P B P B P P
