Build the Foundation with Plot Start and Plot Till 

When establishing a fall food plot, Plot Start and Plot Till are designed to be applied before emergence or immediately after seed is planted. These two products work together to prepare the soil environment for healthy plant development. 

Plot Till focuses on improving the movement of water and nutrients throughout the soil. By chemically aerating the soil, it promotes better root development. This also creates conditions that allow plants to establish a stronger root system. 

Working alongside Plot Till is Plot Start, a product that supplies instantly available calcium while helping create a healthier microbial system within the soil. A balanced soil biology provides the environment needed to support vigorous plant growth from the very beginning. 

Together, these products lay the groundwork for healthier food plots before plants ever begin their rapid growth phase. 

Choose Fertility Based on What You're Planting 

One fertilizer program doesn't fit every food plot. The DeerGro system is designed around the specific nutrient requirements of different plant species. 

For legume crops such as clover, soybeans, and alfalfa, they already produce nitrogen.  This allows the focus to shift toward phosphorus and potassium. DeerGro recommends products such as 3-18-18 or 10-20-10 to provide the nutrients these crops need for continued growth. 

For nitrogen-demanding crops like corn, sorghum, and screening varieties, Nitro Grow 25-0-0 becomes the primary fertilizer choice. These plants require significantly more nitrogen throughout the growing season, making a nitrogen-rich fertilizer essential for strong performance. 

Another advantage of the DeerGro system is flexibility. If a field requires additional nutrients beyond a single fertilizer, products can be mixed together in the same tank to provide a customized nutrient program based on the needs of that particular plot. 

Increase Efficiency with Single-Pass Applications 

A major goal of the DeerGro system is efficiency. Instead of making separate trips for herbicides, fertilizers, and other food plot products, DeerGro products are designed to be compatible in the same spray tank. 

For example, a clover plot receiving herbicide applications for grass and broadleaf weeds can also receive fertilizer during that same pass. Fertilizer combinations can be customized to match the nutritional needs of each planting. This reduces the number of trips across the field. A method like this saves time and ensures crops receive everything they need in one application. 

Keep Food Plots Performing with Plot Boost 

Once plants are actively growing, Plot Boost becomes an important part of the system. As a foliar-applied product, Plot Boost is designed for growing plants. It works by increasing plant metabolism while improving drought tolerance and disease resistance. The result is a healthier plant capable of maintaining better overall performance throughout the growing season. 

Research conducted on soybeans also demonstrated another benefit. As soybeans naturally mature during the summer, crude protein levels typically decline. When treated with Plot Boost, crude protein levels remained steady or even increased slightly throughout the season, helping maintain higher-quality forage for deer. 

Like the rest of the DeerGro lineup, Plot Boost can be applied alongside fertilizers and herbicides, making it another product that contributes to the efficiency of the complete system. 

Why the DeerGro System Works Together 

The DeerGro lineup is designed to function as a complete food plot management system rather than a collection of individual products. 

Plot Till improves movement within the soil. Plot Start promotes healthier soil conditions from the beginning. Crop-specific fertilizers provide the nutrients each planting requires. Plot Boost helps actively growing plants remain healthy and productive throughout the season. 

Perhaps the biggest advantage is that these products are designed to work together in a single-pass application program. Whether applying fertilizers or soil-enhancing products, land managers can complete multiple tasks without sacrificing effectiveness. 

When each part of the system is used together, the goal is more productive food plots from the start of the season through the end.
