BioLogics DEER-RADISH can be planted by itself or added to BioLogic seed
blends to further increase attraction. As an added benefit, the deep
penetrating roots help bust through tough hard pans and help to
rejuvenate soils. Through our research we have determined BioLogics
DEER-RADISHs are among some of the most attractive food plots
available. Whitetails love the highly nutritious forage and the long,
sweet, nutrient packed roots making this plant 100% consumable.
Radishes produce glycosinolate compounds, which can reduce weeds and
nematodes and are an excellent choice for claiming new soil to your food
plot program without having to use excessive glyphosate based
products. BioLogics DEER-RADISH creates one of the most attractive
food plots available.
Coverage Rates: 2lbs=1/4 of an acre
When to Plant: DEER-RADISH is very hardy and will
germinate in drier conditions than other common food plot crops;
however, there must be some soil moisture available. Soil moisture is
more critical than temperature. Plant early August in the North, and
early September in the South.
How to Plant:DEER-RADISH is best planted by
spreading the seed on a well-prepared seed bed at 8lbs per acre. If
possible use a cultipacker to help cover the seed and ensure good seed
to soil contact. Broadcasting the see on a well-prepared seedbed just
prior to a rain also produces an excellent stand as the rain serves to
bury the seed the appropriate depth (1/4 inch) and ensures adequate soil
moisture for germination. Disking is not a recommended method of
covering the seed, as it will bury the seed too deep to allow
germination. DEER-RADISH can be used to top-dress existing clover
stands, adding several tons of nutritious forage during the fall. A
mechanical grain drill is also an excellent method of planting.
