PREPARATION
H
unting and enjoying the outdoors is a passion for
many. This guide is designed to be a resource for
the wildlife enthusiast to assist in managing food plots
and taking care of the land and wildlife that we value in
so many ways.
There are many things to consider when planning
wildlife food plots. All too frequently, key preparation
steps are neglected, the plots are not well thought
out, and the results are disappointing. We know you
desire a healthy plot that grows well, is attractive to
wildlife and is pleasing to the eye. There are some basic
steps that need to be taken in order to accomplish this:
•
Start planning early.
•
Test the soil. Soil testing is extremely important
for knowing what your soil needs. Having the right
nutrients in place will improve plant growth and the
FERTILITY
S
oil sampling should be a priority in every food plot
management program. It is the only way to determine
the pH of your soil. The pH level is the best indicator for
required nutrients.
Timing: Late summer is ideal, allowing sufficient time for
processing, analysis and planning.
Method: Pick a representative point in the plot and pull 4-6
core samples in a circle around the point (approximately 50
foot radius) at a depth of 4-5 inches. Mix the cores together
and place them in a soil sample bag. Label the sample and
take it to a reputable soil lab for processing and analysis. A
set of cores should be taken from each plot. For larger plots,
take at least one set of cores for every five acres.
Soil pH: The optimum pH range for food plots is 6.2-6.5.
If your pH level falls below this range, it is very important
that you apply lime. Surface application will bring
benefits, but for best results, mix properly with the soil.
taste of vegetation.
•
Next, apply fertilizer as recommended.
•
Finally, plant quality seed into a well-prepared seedbed.
We hope that this guide will assist you as you prepare for
this hunting season. If you have any questions or need
additional information, feel free to contact a Wildwood
Fertilizer: A sound fertilizer program is essential for
optimum food plot management, regardless of whether
you sample your soil. For legumes, we recommend
application of Fore Runner™ Homogeneous fertilizer at a
rate of 250 lbs per acre. For non-legumes and grass crops,
we recommend Field Maker™ homogeneous fertilizer at a
rate of 300 lbs per acre.

Free choice. Keep Ex-Caliber® readily available.
Make available one mineral site per 50-100 acres. Apply ½
bag (16-17 lbs) per mineral site.
Ex-Caliber® sites should be established in a shady area where

SUNFLOWER
BLACK OIL HYBRID
These sunflowers have large heads
and usually fill out completely with
adequate rainfall, if not planted too
thick. They are a favorite food for all
types of birds due to high oil content,
as well as fat, fiber, protein and other nutrients in the seed.

to Alfalfa. Chicory can be planted
in most climates. Recommended
planting period is August
through September (South) to
develop a deep root before winter.
The planting rate is 4-5 lbs per
acre alone, or 2-3 lbs per acre in a
blend at a depth of ¼-1/2 inches.
HAIRY VETCH
A cool-season climbing annual legume that grows 3 – 7 feet
tall. It is very winter-hearty but fall forage is minimum
because it grows rapidly in late winter and early spring.
Deer and rabbits will heavily browse the foliage. Turkeys
will browse and eat the seeds. Planting period is September
1 thru October 15. Plant 20 lbs per acre drilled or 30 lbs per
acre broadcast in a well prepared seedbed. Recommended
inoculant is Strain C.

ALFALFA
Alfalfa is a cool season
perennial legume that is a
favorite summer forage for
deer and turkeys. Alfalfa
is high in protein and
produces an abundance of
high-quality forage. Alfalfa
can also attract insects for
upland game birds such as quail and turkey.
Most Alfalfa seeding occurs in August or September. Fall
plantings should be planted at least 6 weeks prior to a freeze.
Seeding rates are 15-20 lbs acre drilled or 20-25 lbs per acre
broadcast. Recommended planting depth is ¼ inch deep.
Alfalfa is available in conventional and Roundup Ready™
varieties. Roundup Ready™ varieties are not labeled
for wildlife plots. Conventional varieties are equally as
productive but require more management.
An Alfalfa variety should be selected based upon the
dormancy recommended for the geographic area. Generally
a dormancy of 4-6 fits most of our geography. Those areas
south of an I-20 line would probably fare better with a
variety having a dormancy of 8. Alfalfa can be planted in
the spring but will generally do better with a fall planting.
Bulldog 505 – Wildlife: Developed at the University of
Georgia, this variety has been extensively tested at several
university research farms. 505 has stood up well when
intensively grazed and maintained a high hay yield. This
semi-dormant variety has a fall dormancy rating of 5.
Alfagraze 550RR™ - Alfalfa WL 550™ has exceptional
yield potential with a strong disease package.
This excellent hay producer has a dormancy of 8..
Alfagraze 600RR™ - Alfagraze 600RR™ has excellent
yield potential. It is a high-quality traffic-tested variety
with a good disease package. With a dormancy of 6, it is
well adapted to a large part of the South.

BAHIAGRASS
FESCUE
Pensacola: Its primary use is pasture. It grows 12-20 inches
tall and does best on sandy soils. It is tolerant to drought,
poor drainage, and low fertility. Planting rate is 15-20 lbs
per acre in March through April.
LESPEZEDA
Kobe & Korean Lespezeda can be high-quality deer
forage plants in mid-to-late summer. Korean is larger,
coarser and matures earlier than Kobe. These warm-season
annual legume germinate in the spring, grow throughout
the summer, and then make a seed head before dying in
the fall. Korean lespazeda matures in early fall and is best
suited for the upper South and lower Midwest. Kobe is
more disease-resistant, persists longer in the fall and has
been the preferred lespadeza in the south. The planting
rate is 25-35 lbs per acre broadcast, Februrary through
March. Seed should be covered with ¼ to ½ inch of soil,
but will often become established without being covered if
adequate moisture is present.
321
A perennial long-lived bunchgrass with primary uses of
pasture, hay, silage and erosion control. The planting rate
is 20-25 lbs per acre broadcast in August through October.
Endophyte-infected fescue will tolerate grazing abuse
better than most grasses. Plant only Endophyte–free seed
if high animal performance is desired.
Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue - A primary tall fescue for
pastures but is known for having a problem with toxic
Endophytes.
Kentucky 32 Tall Fescue
- An Endophyte-free variety.
TEXOMA Max QII™ is a nontoxic Endophyte enhanced
tall fescue that provides
excellent pasture and high
quality abundant forage. It
is best adapted to moisture
retentive, fertile, clay or clay
loam soils. It performs best
in soils with a pH of 6.0 – 6.5.
Planting rate is 15 lbs./A in a
well prepared seed bed.

OATS
One of the top deer attractant grains available. Oats are
highly-digestible and are grown for grain, pastures, hay,
silage and food-plot mixes. Oats are sensitive to cold and
some are more cold-tolerant than others. Oats are sensitive
to pH and grow best with a soil pH of 6.0. Plant oats in
September – October at a broadcast rate of 90-120 lbs acre.
ORCHARDGRASS
RADISHES
Daikon Elongated (Driller)
radishes
provide
both
environmental and financial
benefits in an easy-tomanage
cover crop tool.
One of the unique traits is
its enormous tap root, which
can reach depths of 30 inches or deeper. Its ability to break
through the hard pan improves water infiltration and
allows for air and nutrient penetration into the soil. Driller
also catches residual nitrogen and other key nutrients
and will store them for the following crop. Driller Daikon
radish will winterkill when temperatures drop into the
low 20’s F. The residual that remains will help shade out
winter annual weeds. Seeding rate is 8 -10 lbs per acre
(MONOCULTURE) or 4-5 lbs per acre in a blend. Plant
in early spring or fall. A minimal of 60 lbs per acre of N is
needed for optimal growth.
A perennial bunchgrass with major uses in pasture &
hay. Recommended planting period is August through
September at 15-20 lbs per acre. Stands generally persist
for 2-4 years. More shade-tolerant than most grasses but
less tolerant of drought.

RYE
RYEGRASS
Annual ryegrasses are primarily adapted to the south.
Ryegrass has shiny, dark green leaves and grows 2-3 feet
tall. It is less winter-hardy than fescue or orchardgrass.
Ryegrass tolerates wet and poorly drained soil, and moderate
soil acidity. Its nutrient quality makes it a highly desirable
winter grazing forage for livestock. Recommended planting
period is September December at 35-40 lbs per acre.
A cool-season annual that grows 2-4 feet tall. It is the most
popular of the small grains for cattle forage and is the
most cold-tolerant cereal grain used for wildlife planting in
the country. Rye is more cold-tolerant than oats or wheat
and tolerates low-fertility and aciditic soil better than any
other small grains. Rye is usually planted in October in
the South. The recommended planting rate is 90-120 lbs
per acre broadcast. Proven forage varieties for the South
include Wrens Abruzzi and Elbon.
Lonestar – Exhibits rapid establishment,
improved seedling vigor and tillering. Selected
for quick regrowth after cutting and high forage
yield, it is ideally suited for manged intensive
grazing operations.
Tetrastar – A very digestible cool season
annual forage grass. Known for its quick
regrowth and palatability, livestock
tend to gain more weight and milk when
utilizing TetraStar Tetraploid Ryegrass.
Prine – A consistent leader in quality
& yield with 30% + protein and TDN of
over 70%.
Gulf – The most common and popular annual
ryegrass known for its wide range of uses from
lawns and erosion control to pastures. It is a cool
season grass that is easy to plant.

similar. Not as popular a forage as the other grains for
cattle. When plants are young and tender, vegetation can
be very desirable for cattle and deer. Planting rate is 75-100
lbs per acre broadcast alone. Plant no more than 50 lbs per
acre in a mixture with legumes. Recommended planting
window is September through October in the south.
Brown Mid Rib: 7R BMR – Sorghum Sudangrass hybrid 20% more digestibility. Top choice for dairyman and feeding.
Sweet Grazer Plus – Sorghum Sudangrass hybrid –
Small seeded three way cross; has thin stem allowing for
faster dry down and high quality hay production, good for
silage, good drought tolerance, planting rate = 10 - 30 lbs
