Vitalize Brassica Mix is a high-performance, multi-species blend designed to deliver powerful deer attraction, soil-building benefits, and cool-season forage that lasts well into winter. With a mix of radishes, turnips, and leafy forage brassicas like Winfred and Pasja, this blend creates a buffet that draws deer during peak hunting season while improving soil health through deep nutrient scavenging and natural bio-tillage. Fast to establish and frost-tolerant, it thrives in fall food plots and performs equally well in rotation with spring blends like Nitro-Boost.

From leafy tops to starchy bulbs, every species in this mix plays a role—offering layered attraction, high biomass, and microbial stimulation as plants break down. Whether you're planting a standalone brassica plot, mixing into Carbon Load zones, or layering over clover or cereal grains, this blend gives you long-lasting forage and long-term soil gains. Ideal for late-summer planting, the Vitalize Brassica Mix is your go-to for building better plots and holding deer when it matters most.
