Chicory Seed
Back

Chicory is a broad-leafed, cool-season perennial herb or forb, and is a highly nutritional crop that is actually part of the Sunflower family. Chicory has a relatively deep taproot that allows for some drought tolerance and it produces leafy growth for forage.

Product Information

  • Application or Use: Forage, Cover Crop, Food Plot
  • Germination Time: 7 - 21 days, under optimal conditions
  • Growing Locations: Warm Season, Transition Zone, Cool Season
  • Height: 3 - 5 feet
  • Sunlight Requirements: 8+ hours, full sun for best results
  • Advantages: Suited to well or moderately-well drained soils; highly nutritional crop for food plots.
  • When to Plant: Recommended planting time is fall and spring when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees.

 

Product Details

  • Highly nutritional crop
  • Can tolerate drought conditions
  • Produces leafy growth for forage
  • Suited to well or moderately-well drained soils
  • Can be grown throughout the country


Product Information

Chicory is suited to well or moderately-well drained soils, if compaction is not a problem. Chicory prefers soil with moderate to high fertility, and a pH of 5.5 or greater. Soils that are waterlogged or heavy clay tend to limit the stand life of Chicory. This forage crop can be grown throughout the country.

Chicory has good seedling vigor, and due to its relatively deep taproot, can tolerate drought conditions well. It can be seeded from September to October in a prepared seedbed at a rate of 5 lbs. per acre. It should not be planted too late in the Fall, because the shortened day and lower temperatures impede establishment. Chicory should be planted in full sun and will not tolerate much shade. Weeds are a potential problem for establishment of Chicory. Make sure that grass has been suppressed at the time of planting to reduce competition. When seeding Chicory in a mixture, it is often a good idea to include a legume, because legumes have nitrogen-fixing abilities from which Chicory will greatly benefit.


With enough moisture, Chicory food plots can persist for several years and will continue to draw deer to this tasty herb. In order to achieve maximum life (five to seven years) of a Chicory stand in a pasture, proper grazing management must be considered. Spring-seeded Chicory may be grazed after approximately 90 days, depending on growing conditions, but care must be taken to prevent overgrazing. A stubble height of 1.5 - 2 in. must remain after grazing for optimal productivity. It is recommended as a pasture forage with rotational grazing. For food plots, mowing may need to occur several times during the Summer months to discourage bolting (flowering). Chicory cannot be used for hay due to high water content.

"Bad Seed"

I have no trust in this issue being taking care of but I'll explain the problem! I ordered products from Hancock seed over the past years with no problems, Always I purchased clover & chicory with near perfect results. The chicory seed this year did not let me down and the deer even lay in it and eat. The clover is a different story. All the other years I grew seed from Hancock I had great results but this year I tried twice growing this in different food plots with poor results. I have been farming and plating food plots for over 35 years I have all the farm equipment and soil testing done with any amendments added as needed. The weather has been perfect for germination and growing for what has germinated. The reason I waited to respond to the customer survey was to give adequate time to see how the clover would do and it was a failure to say the least along with time and money! I live in a big farming district along with many wild game hunters and I get asked about my food plots and how I'm making out with them as us farmers & hunters do. Well some encouraged me to let Hancock Seed know the issue and maybe they will stand good for it. After seeing how the seed turned out the 2nd time I decided to do just that so here is my survey.
