What is PowerPlant?

PowerPlant is an annual planting that consists of a mixture of warm season forages that work together to offer an ultra high-protein food source and a lot of tonnage. Completely different from any product developed by the Institute, PowerPlant provides more tonnage than any other spring or summer annual food plot product tested.

The unique seed blend includes small amounts of sorghum and sunflowers and heavy doses of forage and climbing beans and peas.  The specially developed legumes found in PowerPlant are fast growing and high in protein.  Because of the unique blend of forages and growing capabilities, PowerPlant has a better chance of surviving relatively heavy browsing.    

PowerPlant is a spring and summer planting that grows well in a variety of moist and dry soils.  It has been thoroughly field tested around the country on wild, free-ranging deer.  The plot will typically thrive throughout the hottest months and into early fall.

Like humans, deer prefer variety in their diet.  PowerPlant provides that variety.  PowerPlant compliments Imperial Whitetail Clover, ALFA-RACK and other high protein food plots.  The additional forage provided by PowerPlant can enhance the health of your deer herd by providing a protein-rich forage during the antler growing season.  PowerPlant can help take the stress off your other plots if they are being over-browsed.  In addition, PowerPlant can thrive in a wide variety of soil types making it a great all-around food plot for your property, especially if you don’t have perfect soil conditions.

A PowerPlant food plot is unique in its appearance and functionality.  As the taller, structural forages grow, the viney peas and beans grow up the stalks. The support plants can grow to a maximum height of 5 to 7 feet and prevent the beans and peas from crawling along the ground.

Spring and Summer

Viney legumes that do not have a support structure often become stunted and fall into poor health. The support plants allow the viney plants to rapidly regenerate and provide more forage throughout the plots’ lifespan. A typical 1-acre PowerPlant food plot can produce more than two tons of forage per year, providing deer with variety in their diet and plenty to eat to keep them healthy.

PowerPlant is easy to plant and establish. A 25-pound bag of PowerPlant covers 3/4-acre to 1 acre.  After a soil test is done to determine the pH level, spread the appropriate amount of lime on the site to reduce acidity. Whitetail Institute products produce optimum results when pH levels are 6.5 - 7. Disk the area thoroughly at least 4 to 6 inches deep. Disperse the seed and lightly disk or harrow the plot to cover the seed no more than 1 inch deep. Recommended planting dates run from early May to late June, depending on location.

PowerPlant can produce over thirty percent protein and provides good cover for bedding as well. Planting PowerPlant is like putting a cherry on top of a sundae. It makes your property more appetizing and attractive. It helps keep the deer on your property instead of somewhere else.
