Ultra Max – Annual

Price range: $17.60 through $130.00

Description

Ultra Max is an Annual Premium blend of hybrid brassicas and very vigorous diploid grazing turnips. A selection of the most winter hardy and cold tolerant brassicas, very high in soluble protein and carbohydrates. These plants stand lush and tall, producing a very high yield of palatable forage, and have been known to stay green and lush in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Ultra Max has the ability to overwinter better than most other brassicas and is very attractive for late season. Requires medium to high fertility for excellent yields, ideal for late summer planting in a firm seedbed with a pH of 5.2 or higher.

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.
