PowerPlant provides more tonnage per acre than any other spring/summer annual

PowerPlant is an annual. You plant it in the spring and it will grow quickly so as to give your deer the antler-growing protein they need during the spring and summer antler-growing period

PowerPlant provides more tonnage per acre than any other spring/summer annual. Again, this prolific growth is critical to the survival of the food plot when deer are grazing it heavily. No other annual food plot planting, branded or generic, can compare. If you’re going to plant for diversity or want to plant a annual that will produce during the hot summer months, PowerPlant is the answer.

Prolific growth also provides bedding cover

Another advantage of prolific-growing PowerPlant is the added cover it provides. PowerPlant grows so tall, so fast, that it will quickly become a favorite bedding option for your deer. Food and cover all-in-one is a recipe for successful hunting. Deer will spend more time on your property in an identifiable area if they have both food and cover nearby. PowerPlant gives them both. Also, PowerPlant makes for great nesting and brood cover for turkeys and increases the survival rate of poults.

PowerPlant is the answer when you have poor soil, drought conditions or when you’ve missed spring planting dates

In the vast majority of cases, PowerPlant should be viewed as a companion food plot to Imperial Whitetail Clover (or Alfa-Rack) as a means of adding diversity. However, PowerPlant can be a good alternative to Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack in three situations:

1.      Poor soil conditions – there are some cases where Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack might not take, due to poor soil. If you have this problem, PowerPlant could very well be the answer. Its prolific growth characteristics frequently allow it to flourish in marginal soil.

2.      Very dry conditions – PowerPlant may also be an alternative to Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack in dry conditions. The key is early moisture. If PowerPlant gets some rain in the first few weeks, it can withstand some pretty dry weather later in the summer. Try to follow planting dates closely to take advantage of spring and early summer rains.

3.      When you’ve missed spring planting dates – PowerPlant is a good alternative to Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack if you must plant late.  For instance, in some parts of the south and southeast, planting dates for Imperial Clover and Alfa-Rack range from the first of February to the first of March (depending on weather).  If for some reason you were not able to get that spring planting of Imperial Clover or Alfa-Rack done, PowerPlant can be planted through May in the South and as late as the end of June in the North.   Because it grows so fast, PowerPlant will quickly give your deer high protein. It’s better to plant PowerPlant late than it is to skip having a food plot altogether.

Use PowerPlant in conjunction with a fall/winter annual ¾ or leave it for cover

Your PowerPlant food plot will last until the first frost in the fall. Even then, it will provide some forage and good cover during the fall months. You might also want to rotate PowerPlant with our soon-to-come fall/winter annual. In this case, you’ll want to mow your PowerPlant two weeks before you disk for the fall planting.

It is important to always leave some available food. If you eliminate all your spring/summer plots in anticipation of a complete rotation to fall/winter plots and do not have any perennials such as Imperial Clover or Alfa-Rack, your deer will have a period of time with no reason to stick around. This is why you want to leave something for the transition between planting and establishment of your fall/winter forages.

How PowerPlant is different from  NO PLOW™

If you’re familiar with the Whitetail Institute family of food plot products, you know that NO-PLOW has been the annual of choice for several years. Besides being an annual, PowerPlant is completely different from NO-PLOW.

PowerPlant was designed to give your deer diversity in conjunction with Imperial Whitetail Clover. It provides your deer with legumes, which are protected by fast growing forages. NO-PLOW is an annual developed for those who want a food plot product that can be planted in hard-to-reach places and that requires less effort and equipment than Imperial Whitetail Clover. Furthermore, PowerPlant and NO-PLOW use completely different plant varieties.  That said, many Whitetail Institute field testers have planted PowerPlant and NO-PLOW side-by-side to see which performs better on their land, and which the deer prefer. Ultimately many use both.

PowerPlant is easy to plant

The planting instructions for PowerPlant are simple and the planting process is easy. First, you need to soil test the area to be planted for the establishment of soybeans and add lime and fertilizer as recommended. In the case of no soil test, add one ton of lime per acre and 350 to 400 lbs. of 13-13-13 fertilizer. Always strive for a pH of 6.5 to 7. If pH is 6 or lower, the plants will have difficulty with nutrient uptake. If planted in lower pH soils, PowerPlant may grow slower than usual.

You’ll need to disk the area thoroughly to a minimum of 4 to 6 inches deep. This loosens the seedbed and eliminates weeds and grass. Next you’ll broadcast seed at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre and disk or harrow lightly to cover the seed to a depth of one inch.

A 50-lb. bag of PowerPlant will plant between 1-1/2 and two acres. In areas of high deer densities, plant 50 lbs. per 1-1/2 acres. In spite of its prolific growth, PowerPlant, too, can be overgrazed if subjected to extreme grazing. In such cases, plant larger areas and plant early.

PowerPlant increases carrying capacity of your property

We all love a hot, juicy, grilled steak. Just not every day you can give the deer on your property an alternative to your Imperial Whitetail Clover and/or Alfa-Rack food plots with new PowerPlant, a legume-based food plot product. PowerPlant helps increase the carrying capacity of your property and will give your deer even more reason to stay on your side of the fence.
