Vale Field Pea Seed Food Plot Cover Crop Annual Growth 5 Lbs. Bag NEW

Vale Field Pea Seed Food Plot Cover Crop Annual Growth 5 Lbs. Bag NEWVale peas are great for forage. They survive into the winter and are likely to be available in the spring – if the deer don’t eat them first. They have excellent winter hardiness and strong plant growth. They are very sweet and quite desirable as a forage. However, they are also good nitrogen fixers. So you can build soil and deer simultaneously. Icicle Winter Peas will grow into a long vine with large leaves producing good tonnage of very palatable forage. Icicle Winter Peas are an annual dual purpose legume used to produce organic matter & nitrogen, or as forage. Icicle Winter Peas are white flowered, which indicates the absence of tannin. Tannin is a compound that creates a bitter taste in plants. Due to the lack in tannin, Icicle peas are very sweet, unlike the majority of winter peas and spring peas, making them perfect for wildlife. Planting: Winter peas are very easy to establish and should be broadcast at a rate of 50 lbs./acre into a well-prepared seedbed, or they can be drilled at a rate of 30 lbs./acre with a no-till drill. If broadcasting peas, be sure to follow up with a light disking to cover the seed approximately 1 to 2 inches. If no-till planting, be sure to kill the existing vegetation with glyphosate a couple weeks prior to planting to eliminate weed competition and create a clean field prior to drilling seed.Precision planter — 30-40 pounds of seed per acre.Broadcast or aerial seeding — 40-80 pounds of seed per acre. Planting depth — 0.75 inch to 1 inch.Soil PH — 6.0-7.0 Features:Soil Types: Wide variety, not sandSeeding Rate: 40-80 lbs. per acrePlanting Depth: ¾ – 1 inchSoil PH: 6.0-7.0 Our Support To You:If you have any questions or concerns about this product, feel free to contact us.
