Wolf Trax Zinc DDP

Zinc is an essential nutrient for corn, especially early in the season and as the plant establishes its root system. Cool soils limit nutrient mobility and availability, so choose a zinc source like Wolf Trax Zinc DDP. Zinc DDP is designed for better plant availability and quicker uptake, compared to traditional, sparsely-distributed granular zinc.

Formulated with unique EvenCoat™ Technology, Zinc DDP coats dry fertilizer (N, P and K) thoroughly and evenly. Coating dry fertilizer results in blanket-like distribution of Zinc DDP across your field, close proximity to plant roots and early plant uptake.

As solid science is more useful than supposition and hearsay, researchers at the University of Guelph decided to put some of the most common farmer theories about glyphosate – namely that its efficacy decreases due to time in solution and hard water, yet increases with the addition of ammonium sulphate (AMS) to the test.
