Spring Plot Oat Pea Mix – Annual

Price range: $12.00 through $50.00

Description

Spring Plot is an annual mix of forage oats, producing green foliage with an erect growth habit. Buckwheat grows well in almost any soil, produces clusters of small white flowers forming triangular shaped black seeds that shatter easily giving access for seed and stalk feeding. Forage peas offer leafy high palatable forage with high dry matter yields. An ideal mix for early spring to establish a food source that is available for energy and protein needs for developing antlers and improving doe lactation. Spring Plot is an early maturing crop that is great for an early food source, ideal to enhancing soil for fall brassica planting. Will grow in a wide variety of soils, has poor frost tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products

What is the recommended seeding rate and planting depth?
  • Planting Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep into a finely prepared, firm seedbed to ensure proper soil-to-seed contact.

  • Seeding Rate: Broadcast or drill at 10–12 lbs per acre for pure stands, or 4–6 lbs per acre when incorporating into forage or pasture mixes

  • Ideal pH: Thrives best in soils with a pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0.

  • Soil & Fertility: Prefers well-drained to moderately drained soils rich in phosphorus and potassium. Limit heavy nitrogen applications to prevent weed competition.

  • Nitrogen Fixation: Pre-inoculation with host-specific Rhizobium bacteria promotes natural nitrogen fixation, cutting down on synthetic fertilizer costs.

  • Protection & Stand Establishment: The protective coating guards young seedlings against early moisture stress and soil-borne diseases for more uniform germination.

  • Spring Window: Plant from late March through May once soil temperatures reach 50°F.

  • Late Summer / Frost Seeding: A secondary window opens from August through early September. You can also frost-seed by broadcasting onto frozen ground in late winter (February–March).

  • Harvest Timing: Cut for hay or graze at 10–12% bloom to maximize digestibility and crude protein levels.

  • Overwintering: Allow a 4-to-6-week recovery period prior to the first hard autumn frost so plants can store root reserves for winter survival.
