| PowerPlant
is a spring/summer planting that grows very well in a variety of moist and
dry soils, and has been field tested around the country on wild,
free-ranging deer. The plot will typically thrive throughout the hottest
months and into early fall.
PowerPlant
is not a substitute for Imperial Whitetail Clover, ALFA-RACK or No-Plow,
it is an additional forage to further enhance the health of your deer
herd. PowerPlant simply increases the amount and diversity of protein-rich
forage available on your property, and it grows in more soil types than
clover. Its primary purpose is to offer deer the high-protein,
antler-building forage needed during the antler-growing process.
A
PowerPlant food plot looks and functions differently than other food
plots. As the taller, structural forages grow, viney plants grow up the
stalks. The support plants grow to a maximum height of 4 to 6 feet and
prevent the beans and peas from simply crawling along the ground. Viney
legumes that do not have a support structure will often become stunted and
fall into poor health. The support plants allow the viney plants to
rapidly regenerate and provide constant forage throughout the plot’s
lifespan. A typical 1-acre PowerPlant food plot can produce more than TWO
TONS of forage per year.
PowerPlant
is easy to plant and establish. A 25-pound bag of PowerPlant typically
covers three-quarters to one acre. After a soil test is done to determine
the pH level, spread the appropriate amount of lime on the site to reduce
acidity. Whitetail Institute products produce optimum results when pH
levels are around 7. Disk the area thoroughly at least 4 to 6 inches deep.
Disperse the seed and LIGHLTY disk or harrow the plot to cover the seed no
more than 1 inch deep. Recommended plantings run from early May to late
June, depending on location. |
