The Optimal Fertilizer for Wildlife Food Plots
When looking to achieve high yielding forage, large amounts of potassium and a full spectrum of essential plant nutrients are required to stimulate healthy and plentiful plant growth.
But the first part of understanding what nutrients your food plots need is understanding what is already in the soil. Knowing whether or not you have good soil fertility and pH levels can make all the difference in how much fertilizer you should apply. Understanding your soil is an imperative foundation to growing any crop.
The micronutrients found in our soils may be small, but they are critical for a high-quality forage crop. If you are experiencing a shortage of any mineral, it will show not only in your plant growth during the season, but in the numbers you’ll see at harvest time.
Rainbow Plant Food – a homogeneous, granular fertilizer – provides precise amounts of each nutrient required to achieve top-notch forage. With the results of your soil test, a formulation of Rainbow will be selected to meet your crops’ nutrient requirements. The granular form of the fertilizer provides ease of use for producers as there is no blending necessary, eliminating any chance for segregation. Every granule of Rainbow Plant Food provides the perfect balance of potassium to stimulate root growth; boron to help with elasticity; and sulfur to help with the crop’s ability to process nitrogen.
Other benefits of Rainbow Plant Food for wildlife food plots include:
- Homogeneous blend – every prill of Rainbow is a complete nutrient package
- Rainbow gives an even distribution of all nutrients across food plots, allowing for even growth
