When your PowerPlant is planted correctly, you will find that you have done one of the best things you’ve ever done to improve the quality of your deer and deer hunting. You should see more deer and better quality deer.
1. Follow all instructions below, step-by-step, when planting Imperial PowerPlant.
2. Stay within the planting times for your state. A map is located on the back of your PowerPlant bag. Always avoid any chance of frost after planting.
3. Locate an area that has good soil that drains well. Avoid deep sand that normally has low fertility and also avoid soggy soils where water can stand for an extended time after a rainfall.
4. Soil test the area for the establishment of soybeans. Add lime and fertilizer as recommended by the soil test. If no test is available, add one ton of lime per acre and 400 lbs of 13-13-13 fertilizer (or equal) per acre.
5. Disk ground thoroughly (minimum 4” to 6” deep) to prepare good seed bed. If area is still weedy, disk again in 3-5 days.
6. With a good seed bed prepared, broadcast 25lbs or more seed per ¾ to 1 acre. In areas with higher deer populations you should use the heavier seeding rate. Because of the varying seed sizes in the PowerPlant blend it is recommended that you avoid using a seed drill. Broadcasting will give more uniform coverage.
7. After broadcasting seed, lightly disc the area to cover the seed no more than ½” to 1” deep.
8. Remember PowerPlant is a high quality forage seed. Proper planting efforts, favorable soil, weather conditions and good timing can contribute to the success of your planting, and the ultimate impact on the quality of your deer and wildlife.

9. After the plants reach 6”, add 200 pounds per acre of 34-0-0 to enhance foliage production.
