“Extreme is not meant to replace Imperial Clover or Alfa-Rack explains Scott. Instead it is designed to be used in situations where those products have difficulty growing. Plus,” he adds “it is a great way to offer more nutrition variety to
deer.
”According to Scott, Imperial Clover and Alfa-Rack, while far better than other perennials, have two limiting factors: soil pH requirements and rainfall. Some food plot managers can’t get the required acid-neutralizing lime to areas where perennial plots are desired or they have soil that can’t be neutralized. And food plot managers in some regions often receive less than the 30 inches of minimum rainfall needed for Imperial Clover and Alfa-Rack to
thrive.
Extreme is the most drought-resistant perennial blend available for whitetail,” says Scott. “This amazing product stays green longer than other perennials even during severe drought, scorching heat and bitter cold. It really opens the door to perennial plots in some of the harshest growing regions, including most of Texas and Florida, the mountain West, the Great Plains and Canada ─ any place that receives at least 15 inches of rainfall a
year.
”Extreme will also grow in areas with normal annual rainfalls of up to 60 inches as long as it’s planted in soils that drain. Also, while Extreme can withstand lower pH levels than other perennial food plots, it performs even better at levels from 6.0 to 6.5. According to Scott the amazing range of 5.4 to 7.5 makes Extreme the most significant breakthrough in food plot technology since the introduction of Imperial Whitetail Clover in
1988.
