How To Maintain Your Brassica Food Plot & More...

So, you have seeded your fall brassica plots. That's GREAT! But is that it?

Nope!

After about 2 or 3 weeks post seeding, or when the average foliage across your brassica plot is 4"-6" you'll want to consider applying a shot of urea granular fertilizer at a rate of 100#/acre via broadcast. It is best to apply urea just prior to a good rainfall event so that the granular pellets dissolve and soak into the soil.

If urea is allowed to sit on the soil surface for a duration of time without a significant rain after several days, all of your efforts for a nitrogen application will definitely be lost. Remember, rain is your friend. But don't overthink either.

​ Liquid Courage from Domain Outdoor, LLC is a wonderful liquid foliar fertilizer that is approximately 7% nitrogen content and it can definitely help in meeting the nitrogen needs of your brassica food plot. Even your cereal grains like rye can and will benefit from additional nitrogen applications at this time as well.
