Hancock’s Quail Seed Mix food plot should be planted any time after the last chance of frost in the spring, through the summer. Quail food plots should not only include seed producing species but also cover.
Quail are more likely to utilize your food plot if they feel comfortable. Try not to plant food plots for quail in the wide open, if possible. Planting around heavy cover, trees, short pines, and palmetto flats will result in more food plot activity from your quail.
Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a disc. Drag area to loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if necessary. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 250 lbs. per acre. Fertilize three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag or roll lightly to cover the seed no more than 1/4 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing area, it is pertinent to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into soil for best results. Apply irrigation for approximately 30 minutes each evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded areas every other day until the sprout reaches 6 in., then water recommended three times a week if needed.
For best results, please review our Planting Guide and the specific product description before planting. Each product has recommended planting methods, timing, and seeding rates that are important for successful establishment. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal performance and stand success.
