New Micronutrient Fertilisers
Offer Improved Early Season Nutrition
Wolf Trax DDP® Nutrients Provide the Nutrition South African Farmers Need for their Crops
The innovative portfolio of Wolf Trax DDP (Dry Dispersible Powder) Nutrients by Compass Minerals is now available
for South African crop farmers. Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients are micronutrient and secondary nutrient fertilisers
designed with unique technologies that make sure farmers get the most from their fertiliser investment.
Better Coating Technology for Easy Use
Featuring patented EvenCoat™ Technology, Wolf Trax
DDP Nutrients are coated onto N-P-K fertiliser blends
via electrostatic adhesion. This means binders and liquids
are not added to the blend. With this unique feature,
farmers can achieve even micronutrient distribution
throughout a field with improved flowability through
application equipment.
Quick-Acting, Long-Lasting Nutrition
Formulated for DUAL ACTION™ Availability, Wolf Trax
DDP Nutrients provide plants the nutrition they need,
when it’s needed. Each Wolf Trax DDP Nutrient product
has at least two sources of the mineral:
• One form is quickly available
• The other form releases slowly over time
“Early and prolonged uptake is something other
micronutrient fertilisers haven’t been able to offer,” says
Andre Kondonis, Compass Minerals representative for
southern Africa. “Other products provide either quick
uptake or delayed uptake – but not both.”
Kondonis stresses the importance of early season
micronutrients to optimise yield. “The crop needs
micronutrients within the first 14 days of growth to
achieve its full yield potential,” Kondonis explains.
“In most cases, the yield difference won’t be tons per
hectare. But on a large scale, increasing yield by several
kilograms per hectare over all the hectares of a farm –
that can be significant.”
Customised Blends for Each Field’s Need
Because each field is unique, any combination of Wolf
Trax DDP Nutrients can be added to a fertiliser blend.
Based on their soil test results, farmers can choose
one or more of the Wolf Trax products to create
customised blends:
High-Quality, Safe Fertilisers
Only high-purity, feed-grade ingredients are used in the
manufacturing of Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients, to ensure few
contaminants and safe handling.
Research-Tested, Field-Proven Products
Wolf Trax Nutrients have a history of proven field
performance around the world – ranging from the maize
fields of the United States, to potato farms in Europe, and
soybean fields in Brazil.
“We are currently running independent trials in
South Africa and have conducted field trials in Zimbabwe,”
Kondonis says. “We will continue to evaluate best
fertiliser practices using Wolf Trax DDP Nutrients –
the ideal micronutrients for South African farmers.”
