Dbltree's mix

[Ajb2320]

I have been reading he posts but I can seem to find the mix ratios for the food plot mixes that dbltree uses. I'm looking for the brassica plots and tell cereal grains with the rye.. any help would be appreciated. starting to look for next yrs planting already. this obsession seems to never end.
Thanks
Allen

Plant ALL in one plot in strips or blocks







White clover 10% of plot (Alice, Kopu II, Durana (or comparable)). Sow at 6#'s per acre with the rye combination in the fall or in the spring with oats and berseem clover. Correct Ph and P&K with soil tests









Brassicas in 45% of plot
- Purple Top Turnips 3#
-Dwarf Essex Rape 2#
-GroundHog Forage radish 5#
Plant in mid to late July in most Midwest states, or 60-90 days before your first killing frost, Use 200#'s of 46-0-0 urea and 400#'s of 6-28-28 per acre. Follow the dead brassicas with oats and berseem or crimson clover in mid spring at 60#'s oats and 12-15#'s berseem clover and/or 50#'s of chickling vetch)









Cereal Grain combo in 45% of plot
-Winter rye 50-80#'s per acre (56#'s = a bushel)
-Spring oats 80-120#'s per acre (32#'s = a bushel)
-Austrian Winter Peas or 4010/6040 Forage peas 20-80#'s per acre
-Red Clover 8-12#'s per acre or white clover at 6#'s per acre (or 20-40 pounds hairy vetch and 20-30#'s crimson clover on sandy soils)
-Groundhog Forage Radish 5#'s per acre
Plant in late August to early September, if following well fertilized brassicas use 100 - 200#'s of urea, if starting a new plot add 400#'s of 6-28-28

· Plant seeds roughly 1-2" deep by lightly tilling or discing in, and then cultipack to cover, broadcast clover and radish seed and re-cultipack

· Plant fall grains no earlier then the last week of August through mid September, earlier is better when adding peas and clover







Rotate the brassicas and rye combo each year

Cereal Grain combo in 45% of plot...we use 50# each rye, oats and peas along with radish and clover seed all planted in half of each feeding area

Winter rye 50-80#'s per acre (56#'s = a bushel)
Spring oats 50-120#'s per acre (32#'s = a bushel)
Frostmaster Winter Peas or 4010/6040 Forage peas 20-80#'s per acre

Red Clover 8-12#'s per acre or white clover at 6#'s per acre (or 20-40 pounds hairy vetch and 20-30#'s crimson clover on sandy soils)
Groundhog Forage Radish 5#'s per acre

Plant in late August to early September, if following well fertilized brassicas use 100 - 200#'s of urea, if starting a new plot add 400#'s of 6-28-28 but for best results soil test and add only what is necessary.

Might be handy to put this as a sticky somewhere. I too find myself having to search back through older posts in order to find it. Guess I could just save it to my computer somewhere but then I would have to remember where I put it...

Thanks guys seems like a good mix . I have lots of luck with clover but everything else seems to struggle . according of whitetail Institute ph is good and fertilizer seems ok. what I have never done in the past was puthe nitrogen on when I plant the brassica. sometimes it grows but is stunted and turns a yellow purple tint. what would cause that?
And how do u reply to a thread in the app? I can't find a way to do it.

Sounds like nitrogen deficiency
