Imperial Whitetail Ravish, featuring the Whitetail Institute’s proprietary WINA 412 Radish, is a brand-new annual food plot product for fall planting. As versatile as it is attractive, Ravish can be planted by itself, mixed with other seeds or over-seeded into existing forage stands to provide additional attraction through variety, early-season tonnage, and increased availability to deer through winter. Secondarily, Ravish can even improve soil quality.
When it comes to food plot plantings for deer, all radish varieties are not equal. One thing that makes WINA 412 Radish unique is that it is the only radish variety ever developed specifically for use in food plots for whitetail deer and is available only in Whitetail Institute products. Like all Whitetail Institute food plot products, Ravish has been thoroughly tested across the country to ensure suitability to a wide range of climates as well as top attraction and extended availability.Ravish Foliage. Ravish exhibits rapid germination as well as superior seedling vigor. The foliage develops quickly, providing outstanding tonnage from early fall through late season, and it becomes even sweeter after fall frosts arrive.
Ravish Tubers. The tuber part of Ravish begins to grow right after germination, growth continues through the fall, and they’re available to provide deer with much needed food through winter. Unlike the small, round tubers you see on radishes in the grocery store, Ravish tubers grow very large and grow deep into the soil.
Soil Improvement Aspects. In addition
to its incredible ability to attract deer and provide food for them during the
fall and winter months, Ravish tubers can actually improve soil structure due
to their deep, wide growth characteristics. This can present a number of benefits,
whether Ravish is planted by itself, mixed with other seeds or as a topper for
an existing food plot. The space the tubers create in the soil improves soil
aeration, which is essential to all plant roots for maximum plant productivity.
The tubers also increase soil permeability to water, which decreases rain
runoff and improves soil drainage. Finally, any tubers that remain uneaten by
deer at the end of winter decompose as spring arrives. This increases soil
organic matter, which improves the ability of future plantings to utilize
nutrients in the soil. Ravish is
designed for fall planting only. It is available in 2.5 lb. bags, that will
plant 1/4-acre when planted alone or up to 1 acre when mixed with other seeds
or overseeded into existing stands to add variety, tonnage and attraction.
