Evolved Harvest MAXIMIZE Spring & Summer Forage 786541715046 71504

MAXIMIZE Spring & Summer Forage is a food plot seed consisting of soybeans that provides tons of high forage protein high during the summer. MAXIMIZE also provides a grain sorghum that supplements your herd as fall approaches. MAXIMIZE is a great enhancement to your food plot with following ingredients: Forage Soybeans: Forage Soybeans are newly developed to produce an abundant supply of the high protein legume leaves that deer will continue to eat all Summer. Unlike regular soybeans developed to produce seeds, these new Forage Soybean plants were developed to keep producing tender leaves that deer cannot resist, they just will not quit growing and can reach 8 feet tall if not eaten. One of the best things about these new Forage Soybean plants is that deer already prefer soybeans over other Summer forage crops and now these new forage varieties will stay sweet by producing new leaves all Summer. Grain Sorghum: Grain Sorghum is a high volume producer of high quality grain that deer can harvest on an as needed basis. Although deer naturally browse on the foliage, the real benefit is the grain pod produced on the top of the stalk. Deer begin consuming the grain during the Summer as the grain matures and continue to harvest the grain into the Fall months. The high quality grain is a favorite of both deer and game birds (See Game Bird Treat). Summer Peas: Ideal for the warmer seasons, Summer Peas are extremely palatable for deer. This annual is drought tolerant and resilient in regrowth. As part of Maximize, Summer Peas are more resistant to overgrazing and have increased longevity. Sunflowers: Sunflowers provide early season forage and grow 4-6 feet tall making excellent cover for deer in the food plot. These fast growing plants shield slower growing plants until established, while providing stalks for vining plants to grow on. When mature, Sunflowers provide seeds for both deer and game birds to consume. Soil Preparation: To plant Maximize properly you will need a firm, well-prepared seed bed, both limed and fertilized. We recommend breaking the ground and cultivating the soil 4"- 6" deep. Remove all competing weeds and then add fertilizer and lime as recommended. After properly cultivating, lightly pack the soil before seeding your plot. You can lightly pack the soil by running over your food plot with an ATV or a roller. a. Fertilizer Requirements: For optimum results, a soil test should be performed prior to planting to determine your plots need for fertilizer and lime. If a soil test cannot be done, we recommend preparing the seed bed by applying up to 150 lbs of 13-13-13 fertilizer or equivalent per 1/2 acre. It's recommended fertilizing when the plants are 6" tall with 20 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate or equivalent per 1/2 acre to increase the protein and forage available as Maximize begins to be heavily grazed by your deer herd. Do not fertilize during a drought. b. pH of Soil & Liming: The recommended soil pH is 6.0 - 7.5. A soil test should be performed prior to planting to determine your soil pH and the need for lime & fertilizer. If a soil test cannot be done, prepare the seed bed by applying up to 1000 lbs. of lime per 1/2 acre or use 1 gallon of Gain per 1/2 acre. Planting Depth: Maximize contains fairly large seeds that need to be planted 1/2" deep. This can be accomplished by mechanical drill or by broadcasting the seed evenly over the seed bed, and covering with up to 1/2" of soil. If broadcasting, covering the seed can be accomplished by dragging the plot. Moisture: Soil moisture is vital to the plants being able to establish themselves. The soil should be moist when planting, with a reasonable expectation of future rainfall. If adequate moisture is not available for an extended period, the plot may become stunted or fail to establish. Coverage: 15 lbs. plants 1/2 acre; 21,780 sq ft or 30 yards by 80 yards (approximately 1/2 football field) Planting Times: Maximize should be planted in the Spring or Summer after the fi
