Frost Seed Release

Description

Is there some bare ground or a food plot that isn’t very productive where you hunt that should be converted to producing high-quality forage during the first of spring green up? If so, then the Frost Seed Release blend is for you. This blend consists of cold-hardy clover seed that doesn’t require much moisture to germinate. The result? A great clover plot for the spring. 

This blend features cold-hardy clover varieties that we selected for their ability to germinate in the low moisture conditions and cooler soil temperatures of early spring, ensuring your plot greens up sooner rather than later and allows for capitalizing on frost seeding opportunities for maximum coverage and growth.

This allows for the efficient use of resources by requiring less moisture for germination, Frost Seed Release makes the most out of the limited conditions of early spring, providing a cost-effective and minimal effort option to producing high quality forage during the spring and summer.

The quick germination of these clover varieties means your plot can attract and feed deer and turkeys. This blend not only feeds wildlife but also improves soil health, setting the stage for future plantings with its nitrogen-fixing properties.

Choose Frost Seed Release for a food plot that's ready to welcome spring with open arms, ensuring your land is a vibrant, productive habitat from the very first signs of green.

    Ingredients

    Crimson Clover, Red Clover, White Clover, Chicory, and GreenBoost 2.0 Biology Package

    Planting Instructions

    Frost Seed Release can be broadcast into an area with minimal plant competition, even areas with dead weeds from the previous year. It can also be broadcast into an existing cover crop or small grain stand such as wheat, cereal rye, and oats. Broadcast 20 pounds per acre into snow that’s no more than 6” deep or just before the last few frosts are expected before spring green up. Melting snow or the heaving and thawing of frosted ground works to ensure the seeds have great contact with the soil and there’s moisture for germination. For best coverage, apply 1/2 of the seed for the plot while going back and forth across the field in one direction, and then apply the remainder of the seed for the field by going at a 90-degree angle to the first passes.

    Timing

    Frost Seed Release just before the last snow or the last few frosts of the season prior to spring green up. It’s better to plant a bit early than late as melting snow and/or thawing frost are key to ensuring the seeds get through last year's thatch to make great contact with the soil.

    Seeding Rate

    Plant N/A pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 20 pounds per acre when broadcasting.

    Frost Seed Release for Foodplots

    I watch growing deer TV and agree with what Grant and his team are promoting. I frost seeded this same seed last year and had great results.
    Thank you Paul Askins
