Description

King’s Maximo Plus is a cool season, annual deer food plot seed mix of oats, winter wheat, cereal rye, triticale, barley, purpletop turnips, radishes, and three clovers — Arrowleaf, Crimson, and Hubam. This mix is a great food plot to plant that will provide supplemental high protein and yield good forage for white-tailed deer and livestock from fall through spring. The broad diversity of plants acts as an attractant to draw deer to the area during hunting season. Maximo Plus is also an excellent cover crop blend for building soil health, preventing erosion, and fixing nitrogen . The turnips and radishes help alleviate soil compaction and improve organic matter in the soil profile, while the clovers will put nitrogen back into the soil. Also, the clovers are a great food source for native bees and other pollinators. The combination of cool season cereal grains provides broad adaptability of the mix across soil types and climates. Maximo Plus is our preferred deer food plot seed mixture for South and Central Texas, as well adjacent regions. The blend grows well in both dryland and irrigated conditions. Maximo can be planted using a conventional grain drill, no-till drill, or be broadcast planted in a prepared seedbed followed by packing or dragging.
