Planting Instructions for Broadcast

Broadcast – increase 10-25% seeding rate

Spread and Mow

  • This is a popular method for those who don’t want to use herbicide or don’t have a crimper/crusher/cultipacker. Just as it sounds, spread the seed and mow off the previous crop, pray for rain!

Crimper/Packer – Very little thatch (cover from previous crop)

  • Spray existing vegetation with GLY (we recommend letting GLY dry)
  • Spread seed
  • Crush/crimp/mow off the exiting thatch

Crimper/Packer – Heavy thatch layer

  • Spread seed
  • Pack or Crimp and Spray in one pass

Till/Disc – We recognize that some still like to till/disc, we believe any step towards soil conservation is a step in the correct direction. Our recommendation is to practice “conservation tillage”. This is where are hardly turning the soil and once complete you are leaving 30%+ soil covered with residue.

  • Lightly disc/till (conservation tillage)
  • Spread seed
  • Pack seed

Nitro Boost – should be planted when soil temps get to 55+ degrees

Carbon Load – should be panted 40-60 days from first frost in your area. Most of Midwest will be end of July-Labor Day, depending on the growers’ goals.

Carbon Load Planting:

Same as above will all suffice for Carbon Load planting. Due to the nature of Nitro-Boost and the nutrient cycling properties, we can add one more planting method.

  • Broadcast into the standing Nitro Boost
  • Much of the Nitro boost will be dying off in the fall as the cool season annuals in Carbon Load will be ready to jump out of the ground from all the free nutrients NB sequestered
  • Broadcasting into Nitro Boost before a rain will allow structure and a carpet of lush green to feed your soil and whitetails all year.
