Optimizing Canola Yields with WOLF TRAX™ Boron DDP™

Proper nutrient management ensures crops receive the right amount of essential nutrients at the right times in the growing season. Without balanced nutrition, plants become susceptible to diseases, pests and environmental stresses, ultimately compromising productivity.

In Canada, canola faces deficiencies in various micronutrients, particularly boron. Because micronutrient deficiencies in canola can negatively impact the crop, it’s important to recognize the common symptoms of deficiency, including: 

• Stunted growth
• Poor seed set
• Hollow or discolored stems
• Limited root development
• Leaf curling and wilting 

“Micronutrient deficiencies often go unnoticed until they are severe and significantly impact yield,” said Bryce Geisel, senior agronomist and representative of Koch Agronomic Services. “By proactively managing these nutrients, especially boron in canola, we can ensure healthier plants and better productivity. Addressing these needs early in the season helps prevent problems before they start.”

Understanding the Role of Boron in Canola

Boron plays a vital role in the reproductive development of canola plants, directly impacting yield and grain quality. It is essential for cell wall formation, pollen tube growth and seed development. Adequate boron levels also ensure better standability, flowering and seed set, leading to higher yields.

Canola plants must continuously take up boron throughout their growth cycle, as it is generally immobile within the plant and cannot be translocated from older tissues to newer tissues.

“Micronutrient planning is important for your operation. Boron deficiency symptoms can be challenging to detect early but are hard to correct once they manifest,” said Geisel. “Boron, like other micronutrients, is best applied early in the crop’s lifecycle so it can be taken up as needed. To assist with this, using the right products can help provide easily accessible boron to the crop.”

Help Your Canola Crop with WOLF TRAX™ DDP™

WOLF TRAX™ Dry Dispersible Power (DDP™) micronutrients provide an advanced approach to managing micronutrient deficiencies in canola. Featuring patented EvenCoat Technology, it delivers precise and efficient nutrient application, ensuring an even distribution of micronutrients to support optimal plant growth.

• Uniform application: The unique formulation of WOLF TRAX DDP allows for an even distribution of micronutrients across the field. Its EvenCoat Technology uniformly coats each granule, reducing the risk of uneven nutrient uptake and deficiency symptoms.
• Improved uptake: The dispersible powder ensures that micronutrients are readily available to plant roots, promoting efficient plant use.
• Compatibility: WOLF TRAX DDP can be tailored and easily integrated into existing fertilization programs, allowing farmers to enhance their crop nutrition without significantly changing their practices.
• Enhanced crop health: By providing a consistent supply of essential micronutrients, WOLF TRAX DDP supports overall plant health, improving resilience against environmental stresses.
• Operational efficiency: WOLF TRAX DDP improves operational efficiency by streamlining storage, transport and handling processes.

“Achieving peak crop performance hinges on precise nutrient management,” said Geisel. “The innovative technology of WOLF TRAX DDP ensures micronutrients are evenly distributed and readily available, empowering farmers to meet specific crop needs and drive higher yields throughout the growing season.”
