Summer Release

Description

Looking for a warm season annual blend to feed deer and suppress weeds? The Summer Release Blend is full of protein-producing forage to keep deer fed full during the summer months, and keep them patterned to feeding in your food plots. Summer Release is designed so that different species become palatable at different times, allowing for regrowth, and ensuring that there’s always something tasty to eat. This combination of different plant species will produce significantly more forage than a single-species planting. It also improves soil health, providing the diversity of nutrients that will allow whitetail to express their full genetic potential.

This product is pre-inoculated with the Green Boost Biology Package, so you can reduce your fertilizer usage. Green Boost includes:

  • Elevate'd Fungi is a seed applied inoculant derived from natural products designed to stimulate seed germination, increase root biological biomass in the soil, and improve soil structure. 
  • MycoGreen NPK, a dual inoculant containing ten functionally diverse mycorrhizal fungi and eight bacterial species.
  • Rhizo-Fixer Plus Inoculant contains multiple families of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria plus Azospirillum Brasiliense (free living N fixer) and two phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, Pantoea Eucalypti and Pseudomonas Baetica.

Healthier and more vigorous plants will lead to healthier animals and bigger antlers!

Green Cover Seed was not able to source these seeds from organic production. We certify that to the best of our knowledge these seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides and that all coatings and inoculants are manufactured to organic standard.

    Ingredients

    Non-GMO Soybeans, Cowpeas, Mung Beans, Sunn Hemp, Hybrid Grain Sorghum, Radish, Rapeseed, Sunflowers, Buckwheat, and GreenBoost Biology Package

    Planting Instructions

    Summer Release is best seeded using a no-till drill or other seeding device and placing seed at a depth of 3/4" - 1". It can also be broadcast into areas with minimal plant competition such as a new plot or one where a seedbed has recently been prepared. Light incorporation or dragging can help with seed to soil contact but don't cover seeds with more than 3/4” of soil.

    Timing

    Summer Release should be planted during the spring when the leaves on trees are almost fully formed or more precisely when the soil temperature at 2” deep at 9:00 AM is 60 degrees or warmer. There are lots of websites that report the current soil temperature daily for each county.

    Seeding Rate

    Plant 47 pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 60 pounds per acre when broadcasting.

    Summer release blend

    It is an amazing product and it produced very diverse variety of plants. These plants are between ground and 4’ as of today. The weeds are held at bay which is great. The amount of pollinators using this field is awesome. It is everything that you claimed it to be and once it is rolled over in the fall and reseeded it will put a lot of organic into the ground. The wildlife is enjoying it as well and that is a good thing.

    Great Mix!

    Started the release process with this mix. I did not use any fertilizer at all and my soils are average at best. Had great growth, like 4 to 5 foot of growth, and the amount of biomass it created was hard to believe. Created a great layer of soil armor when I drilled into it with the Fall Release blend and knocked a majority of it over. If the Fall release does as well I will never have bare soil again. I planted this in 3 different plots and the deer were in these plots every time I checked on them, regardless of the time of day. It held up to moderate browse pressure very well. One field had heavy browse pressure and that field ended up with a fair amount of weeds. I will try the browse release in that field next year. Overall I am very impressed with this mix.

    Love this product because
    1) my soil isn’t the best and it grew very productively without adding fertilizer
    2) to be able to no till the fall release into the summer release and visa versa is huge in my mind because I don’t have to use chemicals to kill it.
    3) I’m feeding deer and other wildlife at the same time fixing my soil profile.
    I couldn’t be happier

    Great product even in drought

    Everyone probably experienced the extreme lack of rain this spring. I waited as long as I felt I could and planted a week out of expected rain which did come but minimal. The only food plot that grew was the Green Cover summer release blend. All the soybean plots managed about 25%germination and were devoured. I will be using Green Cover blends for my food plots from now on.

    No till drill

    Love the blend! It would be helpful if you could give which seed in the blend to calibrate ALL no-till drills too. This would be helpful info for all GC blends.
