Herbicides
A New Tool for Top Quality Food Plots

More deer, better deer and larger racks are the result of planting quality food plots. Unfortunately, all of the work is not necessarily done with the planting.  Weeds and grasses can hamper even the best-laid food plot plans and turn your lush green food plot into a pile of weeds and dirt.

Weed and grass problems lie deep within the soil.  Over many years, billions of weed and grass seeds have been deposited and can sit dormant until the day the soil is tilled and they move close to the surface.  As the seed moves to the surface, the combination of oxygen, temperature and moisture causes the weed and grass seeds to germinate.  It's only a matter of time until the grasses and weeds are aggressively competing with the crops.

Weeds and grasses can cause many problems in a field.  First, they compete with desired forages in the food plot, taking moisture and nutrients from the soil which are the life blood of food plot forages.  When moisture and nutrients are stolen by weeds and grasses, huge holes in the food plot can develop.  If left unchecked, the weeds and grasses can take over the entire plot.  This will require replanting earlier than anticipated which can be expensive.

The Whitetail Institute, in its relentless pursuit to improve the food plot experience, has developed a solution.  It is proud to introduce herbicides developed specifically for food plots: Arrest Grass Herbicide and Slay Broadleaf Weed Herbicide.

Arrest the Grasses in Your Food Plot

Arrest Herbicide was developed by Whitetail Institute to help control grasses found in a food plot.  Grasses come in many forms: perennial and annual.  Fescue, Johnson grass and foxtail are a few that commonly plague food plots.  These grasses produce lots of seeds and are very aggressive, taking incredible amounts of moisture and nutrients away from desired forages.  If not dealt with quickly, they can damage or destroy the plot.  Applying Arrest before the grasses get out of control can clear virtually all of the grass out of the plot without damaging the stands of Imperial Whitetail Clover, Alfa-Rack, Alfa-Rack Plus or Extreme.

Slay the Broadleaf Weeds in Your Food Plot

Slay Herbicide was developed by the Whitetail Institute to help control broadleaf weeds.  Like grasses, broadleaf weeds come in many shapes and forms, both perennials and annuals.  Thistles, dock weed and ragweed are examples of broadleaf weeds that can damage or destroy food plots.  Broadleaf weeds, like grasses, can spread quickly and take valuable moisture and nutrients from the soil.  Slay Herbicide effectively controls broadleaf weeds and doesn't harm Imperial Whitetail Clover, Alfa-Rack or other clover or alfalfa plantings.

What is Surefire Seed Oil?

Surefire Seed Oil is a tank additive that helps the herbicide stick to the weeds which helps the herbicide penetrate the weed aggressively.  The cost of adding Surefire Seed Oil to the Slay spray solution is less than $8 per acre.

Do I Need to Add Surefire Seed Oil to the Slay Spray Solution?

Yes!  Slay is chemically different than Arrest.  The addition of Surefire Seed Oil or a similar surfactant or crop oil concentrate is mandatory for Slay to work.  If you spray Slay without adding Surefire Seed Oil or a similar crop oil concentrate or surfactant as directed, you could lose up to 90% of the effectiveness of Slay on broadleaf weeds.  Add Surefire Seed Oil to the Slay spray solution at a rate of 1/2 pint of Surefire per acre.       

Do I Need To Add Surefire Seed Oil To The Arrest Spray Solution? 

In most cases, Arrest will work without adding Surefire Seed Oil.  However, if the grass to be controlled has matured or is a perennial grass, adding Surefire to the Arrest solution is highly recommended to boost the effectiveness of Arrest.  Add Surefire Seed Oil to the Arrest spray solution at a rate of ½ pint of Surefire per acre.

Impact Growth Stimulant
Food plots sometimes need a little boost to reach their full potential

Food plots sometimes need a little boost to reach their full potential so we developed Impact Growth Stimulant. This unique plant stimulant helps your food plots and the plants in them grow like never before. 

Impact Growth Stimulant helps plants grow a larger and deeper root system which allows the plant to take in more moisture and nutrients, making the plant stronger, healthier and more drought resistant. A larger and deeper root system allows the plant to grow faster for quick forage establishment which means your plot will attract deer faster than ever before.

Probably one of the best features of Impact Growth Stimulant is its ease of use. We know how busy life can be. Products that are complicated to apply and hard to understand won’t get used so we developed Impact Growth Stimulant to be easy to mix and use so you will see results quickly.

Impact is a concentrated liquid that is mixed with water and applied directly on forage plants: either natural foods or planted foods. The exclusive patented Impact formula contains three specific agents necessary for optimum plant growth. Impact can mean the difference between average food source and the absolute best food source.

Our goal at the Whitetail Institute is to keep the grass on your side of the fence greener than the grass on the other side of the fence. Impact Growth Stimulant can do just that.

Impact Growth Stimulant helps plants grow a larger and deeper root system which allows the plant to take in more moisture and nutrients, making the plant stronger, healthier and more drought resistant. A larger and deeper root system allows the plant to grow faster for quick forage establishment which means your plot will attract deer faster than ever before.
