BULLDOG 505 ALFALFA -Dual Purpose Alfalfa - Hay or Graze For Livestock or Wildlife! |
One of two new dual purpose alfalfas bred and developed by Dr. Joe Bouton at the University of Georgia, Bulldog 505 should be planted north of Macon, GA. Bulldog 505 has shown excellence in field trials conducted at Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Pennsylvannia. Grazing alfalfa increases body weight and antler size for deer. Alfalfa food plots make a good feeding habitat for wild turkeys and quail. Bulldog 505 has also done well overseeded into bermuda grass hay fields which serves to increase hay quality and eliminate the need for nitrogen applications! Bulldog 505 has been bred to stand up to aggressive grazing and to tolerate strong treading and trampling. Good disease resistance, drought tolerance and excellent winterhardiness are also characteristics of Bulldog 505. Plant in fall (best time for the Southern US)or spring at the rate of 20# per acre and no deeper than 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Apply 0-20-20 annually at the rate of 500# per acre. After 50% bloom alfalfa should be mowed off or cut and baled into hay and removed from food plot area to allow new tender regrowth. | |

|
BULLDOG 805 ALFALFA - Dual Purpose -Hay or Graze For Livestock or Wildlife! |
One of two latest dual purpose alfalfas bred and developed by Dr. Joe Bouton at the University of Georgia, it is a less dormant variety of alfalfa developed to green up earlier in the spring and produce later in fall. Bulldog 805 is well suited for Macon and below which includes Florida and the coastal plain of Alabama to Texas. It is one of the few alfalfas specifically adapted for these unique growing conditions. However, it has the same characteristics of Bulldog 505-aggressive grazing, strong treading and trampling tolerance, plus good disease and drought resistance. Remember - Proper management of alfalfa is the key to having success! (See planting and care instructions under Alfalfa, Bulldog 505) | |

OASIS FORAGE CHICORY |
Oasis forage chicory is a broad leaved perennial herb that has been bred for improved disease resistance, which significantly increases survival under grazing. Protein levels in chicory range from 10% to 32%, depending on plant maturity. Digestibility of chicory leaves is generally between 90% and 95%. Chicory contains relatively high levels of minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and sodium) which are essential for proper animal nutrition. Chicory also has a deep taproot which provides excellent drought tolerance. All of these characteristics combine to make Oasis chicory an ideal choice for wildlife food plots. | |

BULLDOG RED CLOVER |
Bulldog Red Clover was developed at the University of Georgia and has undergone extensive testing at UGA's experiment stations. In grazing trials conducted at the University of Georgia, Bulldog Red Clover had 115% better grazing persistence than Redland III Red Clover and 130% better grazing persistence than Royal Red Clover-two of the top Red Clover Varieties on the Market! Fairly drought tolerant, it tolerates more acidity and poorer soil drainage than alfalfa. In addition, like all clovers, Bulldog Red is nitrogen fixing so it will help build up your soil and reduce your fertilizer bill. Though red clover is a bi-annual(lasts two years)crop, in North Georgia Bulldog Red has been known to last for 3 years. Fertilize with 0-20-20 at the rate of 200lbs per acre. | |

REGALGRAZE LADINO CLOVER |
A perennial ladino clover, RegalGraze, from Cal/West Seed Co. has proven to be superior in yield with more grazing tolerance than other Ladinos in tests conducted by the University of Georgia. RegalGraze has no anti-quality cyanogenic glucosides unlike some intermediate and small leaf white clovers. Another top feature is larger leaf size and canopy height than Patriot and Durana clovers. RegalGraze can take very heavy grazing and come back strong thanks to OverGraze Protection. Broadcast in fall or early spring 8-10# per acre no deeper 1/4 of an inch. | |
| |
|
APACHE ARROWLEAF CLOVER |
An annual reseeding clover developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at Texas A & M University. By eliminating the genetic trait for susceptibility, Apache, unlike Yuchi, is resistant to lethal wilt. Apache is also tolerant to BYMV disease, and when infected has a higher survival rate than Yuchi. Apache has greater forage production in early spring than Yuchi and its total season forage production is greater or equal to that of Yuchi. Apache flowers 10-14 days earlier than Yuchi. Broadcast in fall or early spring 10-12lb per acre no deeper than 1/4 inch. | |

AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS |
An annual legume often planted for deer and turkey that is closely related to English garden peas, it has good winter hardiness and can be successfully grown in the entire US and parts of Canada. The vines can grow up to 5 feet long and grow throughout the cooler months. Often used as a cover crop, it builds nitrogen in the soil. Since Austrian Winter Peas can be overgrazed and killed out in small plots, we recommended that you plant it with another crop to establish a winter feeding ground. To attract and harvest deer in the fall, make these peas part of your wildlife food plots! Plant in the fall or early spring 30-40lb per acre 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Don't forget to innoculate the seed before you plant. | |
