BioLogic Deer-Radish Seed for Food Plots – 2 lb (1/4 Acre)

BioLogic DEER-RADISH: A smart choice for productive food plots

Biologic's DEER-RADISH blends two radish varieties with a touch of New Zealand Brassica to create a highly attractive, nutritious forage option for food plots. It can be planted by itself or added to Biologic seed blends to boost attraction, giving you flexible coverage for stand development.

Whitetails are drawn to the forage and the long, sweet roots, which are fully consumable. The deep, penetrating roots can help break through compacted soil and support a healthier root zone in the plot. The radish roots also contribute to a robust autumn forage display, helping to extend the season of attractive forage on your land.

How to plant and manage

DEER-RADISH is hardy and can germinate in drier conditions than some crops, but consistent soil moisture remains important for best results. Planting at the right rate and depth supports a strong stand.

• Planting rate: spread seed on a well-prepared bed at 8 lbs per acre
• Seeding depth and coverage: if possible, use a cult packer to ensure good seed-to-soil contact; avoid excessive soil burial
• Broadcasting just before a rainfall also yields a solid stand by burying seed to about 1/4 inch and ensuring soil moisture for germination
• Disking is not recommended, as it can bury seed too deep to germinate

Timing for planting varies by region: in the North, aim for early August; in the South, early September. Adequate soil moisture is more critical than temperature for successful emergence.

Plot integration tips

• DEER-RADISH can top-dress existing stands of clover, adding several tons of nutritious forage during the fall
• A mechanical grain drill is another effective planting method to ensure even coverage
