How to use:
Follow these 5 easy steps for best results when planting Quick Stand in a no till application:
- Select a Plot Area - Look for a level area that gets at least a half day of sunlight. An area in the woods that was recently cleared or an abandoned field are perfeect for Quick Stand No-Till applications.
- Ground Preparation - Remove weed competition and leaves by raking, spraying or mowing. It is still important to give the seeds in Quick Stand as much help as possible to reach bare bround. Contact with the ground is required for any seed to grow.
- Fertilize & Lime - A soil test can be used to determine exact fertilizer and lime needed. If a soil test cannot be performed, use the following recommendations:
- 300 lbs of 13-13-13 fertilizer per acre or equivalent.
- 2,000 lbs of lime per acre in areas where soil is known to be acidic.
- Broadcast Seeds - Spread the seeds evenly over the prepared area at a rate of 20 lbs per acre. If the ground has not been broken with machinery, dragging the plot with fencing will help ensure ground contact with the seed. Quick Stand contains small seeds that do not need to be covered. We recommend broadcasting the seed and then rolling the seed in to the seed bed by running over your food plot with an ATV or roller. Never cover the seeds with more than 3/16” of dirt.
- Maintenance - When the plot grows to 3” tall, you can fertilize again with up to 40 lbs of ammonium nitrate per acre or equivalent. This will help establish your plot but only use when the ground is moist to reduce the chances of burning. You can repeat this step again to push your plot to keep producing forage faster as the deer begin to forage heavily on the plot. Soil moisture is vital to the plants being able to establish themselves, so the soil shouls be moist when planting, with a reasonable expectation of future rainfall. If adequate moisture is not available for an extended period after planting, the plot may fail to establish properly.
