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.
