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.
