Best Planting For north and south U.S. is August through October. Germination will occur when soil temperatures reach 65 - 70 degrees. It can be planted in spring in the Northern states above the "line" of West Virginia to Missouri. Planting in the spring in the southern and lower northern states will shorten crop life due to summer heat. Northern planting may see a shortened crop life if hard freezes are experienced. Rape food plots will not survive summer heat or hard freezes. Note: Rape becomes more attractive to deer after a frost because the sugar content will become more concentrated.
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.
