Brassicas (turnips/radishes) Food Plot Guide

A fall food plot blend containing Crimson Clover, Fixation Balansa Clover, Radish, Kale, Turnips, and GreenBoost 2.0 Biology Package. Designed to be planted 6-8 weeks before first frost with excellent palatability and good weed suppression.

A special variety of sugar beet designed to provide nutrient rich forage in the early season and extreme attraction as temperatures drop in the late season. Matures in 90 to 100 days and can produce 10 to 15 tons of forage per acre under optimal conditions. Cold weather increases sugar content in taproots for late season attraction.

A unique mix of Ethiopian Cabbage, Forage Collards, Hybrid Forage Brassica and Forage Turnip designed to grow rapidly, mature quickly and handle tough conditions including heat, drought and extreme cold. Provides maximum forage production, impressive regrowth potential, elite nutritional value and unbeatable attractiveness with maturity in just 40 to 60 days. Can remain green well into winter and is suitable for no-till planting.

Giant Rapeseed is a short season Brassica species that produces more biomass than conventional rape seed while also producing better quality forage. It typically does not survive winters in northern climates. Rapeseed has a very succulent top growth that is high in nutrients. May be used for livestock in pastures or in wildlife food plot seed mixtures. Plant late in the summer for a very green fall forage; spring or fall planting is also an option.

Illicit Deer Radishes offer an easy to use, fast growing variety capable of producing up to 8 tons of forage per acre. The leafy greens provide premium forage during late summer and fall, while the sugar filled tap root delivers a powerful energy source after frost. Thrives in sandy soils but performs well across a wide range of soil types. Deep reaching tap roots pull nutrients up into the upper soil profile, break up compaction, improve water infiltration and add organic matter back into the ground.

A fall and winter food source combining high protein forages with high energy taproots. Features hybrid forage brassica, rutabaga, turnip, and rapeseed with superior regrowth potential that can be grazed up to four times within a growing season.

An incredibly unique mix of brassicas designed to grow extremely fast and produce all above ground forage that is easily accessible for deer in fall and winter. Includes special varieties of kohlrabi, hybrid brassica, forage rape, and turnip to deliver the best in both warm and cold season forages.

A fall and winter food plot mix featuring two varieties of turnips (Purple Top Turnip and Forage Turnip) that are easy to grow and fast to mature. Produces a large purple spherical root and leafy forage delivering high levels of protein and energy for whitetail deer. Great for overseeding beans, overgrazed food plots, or as a last minute early fall backup plan.

A premier cold season food plot mix combining turnip, radish, kale and forage rape. Produces lush leafy greens and energy packed bulbs that can handle serious graze pressure. High protein levels allow deer to begin feeding as early as two weeks after germination. Excellent for sandy soils and no-till plantings.

Purple Top turnips are one of the most highly sought after forages for deer and make an excellent hunt over food plot option. They are easy to establish, grow rapidly, and provide high levels of protein in the leaves and energy in the bulb, making them one of the most popular plants for whitetail deer.

A premium New Zealand variety, York Globe Turnip is an older, established variety that can be used for summer or winter feed. York Globe Turnip has a round bulb shape with white flesh & white skin. York Globes can be established alone for early winter feed or sowed in a pasture mix for added nutrition and grazing value. It is an earlier maturing turnip at 60-80 days.

The Daikon radish is a cold season annual that provides high levels of protein rich leafy green forage along with a high energy taproot, delivering excellent attraction from early season through late season. Radishes germinate and establish extremely quickly and can handle a diverse range of soil environments, making them an excellent throw and grow food plot option.

Winfred Forage Brassica is a cross between kale and turnip that produces high amounts of leafy green forage that is both palatable and highly digestible. It has superior regrowth potential and can regrow up to four times in one growing season. Handles heavy graze pressure, offers excellent frost tolerance, and can stay green down to single digit temperatures, making it an outstanding fall and winter food source.

Kale is a cold tolerant leafy green brassica that produces high levels of high quality forage and is best planted in late summer for attraction throughout fall and winter. Kale can be grown in diverse soil environments, stays green after frost, and is one of the hardiest brassicas available.

Forage rapeseed is a fantastic plant variety for whitetail deer. It is easy to establish, grows quickly, and provides high levels of nutritious forage throughout summer, fall, and winter. Known for its large leafy greens and ability to handle diverse soil and weather conditions, forage rapeseed is an excellent addition to any food plot. Can be planted on its own or added to your favorite Domain food plot mix.

Forage Collards are a part of the brassica family. They have very large leaves that spread out with deep growing taproots that will not form a tuber or a bulb. Collards are highly nutritious and digestible for not only wildlife, but also livestock. They are slow to bolt and flower when spring-planted, making them a good choice for late spring and early summer grazing. Collards can also be planted in late summer or the early fall for fall food plotting needs. They have demonstrated the ability to stay green into December, even after temperatures have dropped below 0° F.
