PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Corn requires more attention to detail than some other food-plot crops but can easily be grown by following a few instructions. Here are some tips to help your Nutri-Crave Corn plot be a success.
– Plant when soil temperatures reach 60 degrees
– It is important to start with a well-worked and weed-free seed bed.
– The ideal seed planting rate for 1 acre of Nutri-Crave Corn is 26,500 seeds per acre. This allows for maximum grain production. Ideal spacing is obtained by planting on 30″ rows with 6″ to 8″ spacing between plants within each row. Seeds should be planted 2″ deep. Broadcasting seeds is NOT recommended.
– Weed control is very important! Residual (pre-emergent) herbicides are highly recommended for the success of this product. Please consult your local ag chemical dealer for the best recommendations for your region. 2-4D herbicide can be sprayed over the top of growing corn to control broadleaf weeds only. 2-4D will not kill grasses such as foxtail.
– Soil fertility and proper pH are more critical with corn than other food plot crops. Corn requires adequate nutrition to reach its full yield potential and nutritional benefits for the animal. Corn typically requires more nitrogen than other food plot crops. Start with a soil test and then consult with your local fertilizer dealer.
– Nutri-Crave corn is treated with a fungicide for early-season disease pressure offering 30-40 days of protection to get your plot off to a great start.
