Deer Radish Food Plot Seed, 2lb (Plants 1/4 Acre)

BioLogic's DEER-RADISH, a blend of two different varieties of radishes and a small percentage of New Zealand Brassica, can be planted either on its own or incorporated into BioLogic seed blends to further enhance attraction. Through our research, we have determined that BioLogic's DEER-RADISH is one of the most attractive food plot options available. Whitetails are drawn to its highly nutritious forage and the long, sweet, nutrient-packed roots, making the entire plant 100% consumable.

When it comes to planting, DEER-RADISH is a hardy crop that can germinate in drier conditions compared to other common food plot plants. However, some soil moisture is still necessary. Soil moisture is more critical than temperature, with the optimal planting window being early August in the North and early September in the South.

To plant DEER-RADISH, it is best to spread the seed, at a rate of 8 lbs per acre, on a well-prepared seedbed. If possible, use a cult packer to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Alternatively, broadcasting the seed on a well-prepared seedbed just before a rain can also produce an excellent stand, as the rain will bury the seed to the appropriate depth (1/4 inch) and provide the necessary moisture for germination. Disking is not recommended, as it will bury the seed too deep, preventing proper germination.

DEER-RADISH can also be used to top-dress existing clover stands, adding several tons of nutritious forage during the fall. A mechanical grain drill is another excellent method of planting.

One of the unique benefits of DEER-RADISH is its ability to help rejuvenate soils. The deep-penetrating roots can help break through tough hardpans, and the radishes themselves produce glycosinolate compounds that can reduce weeds and nematodes. This makes DEER-RADISH an excellent choice for establishing new food plots without relying heavily on glyphosate-based products.

In summary, BioLogic's DEER-RADISH is an extremely attractive and nutritious food plot option. Its fast germination, rapid growth, and long-lasting appeal make it a deadly combination that deer simply cannot resist. Whether planted on its own or incorporated into a seed blend, DEER-RADISH is a valuable addition to any food plot program.
