Clovers, Alfalfa & Chicory Food Plot Mix

Perennial Nutrition Built for Serious Wildlife Managers

Hale Habitat & Seed’s Clovers, Alfalfa & Chicory Mix is a premium perennial blend designed to establish long-lasting, high-protein forage that attracts and sustains deer and other wildlife from early spring through late fall.

This carefully balanced mix combines nutrient-dense clovers, protein-rich alfalfa, and deep-rooted chicory to create a resilient food source that thrives under grazing pressure and varying weather conditions. Whether you’re frost seeding, renovating an existing plot, or establishing a new perennial stand, this blend is built to perform.

With proper soil prep and management, this mix provides multiple years of high-quality forage while improving soil health through nitrogen fixation and deep root structure.

Grow healthier deer. Build better habitat. Plant with confidence.

Benefits for Wildlife

• High-protein perennial forage supports antler growth, lactation, and body weight
• Multi-species blend increases palatability and grazing durability
• Chicory’s deep taproot provides drought tolerance and extended seasonal availability
• Clovers fix nitrogen, improving soil health naturally
• Attracts deer, turkey, and other wildlife throughout the growing season
• Withstands moderate grazing pressure when properly managed

Planting Guidelines

• Seeding Rate: 6–8 lbs per acre
• Planting Depth: ¼ inch or less (do not bury seed too deep)
• Best Planting Windows:
  • Frost seeding (late winter/early spring)
  • Spring planting after soil temps reach ~50°F
  • Late summer/early fall (allow 6–8 weeks before first frost)
• Site Prep:
  • Soil test recommended
  • Remove existing vegetation
  • Firm, clean seedbed preferred
• Sunlight:
  • Full sun recommended for best performance
  • Can perform well with some shade

Fertilization Guidelines

• Conduct a soil test prior to planting
• Adjust pH to 6.0–7.0 (lime if needed)
• Apply phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) according to soil test results
• Avoid high nitrogen applications — legumes fix their own nitrogen
• Top-dress with 0-20-20 or similar blend annually to maintain productivity

Herbicide Guidelines

• Eliminate existing weeds before planting
• Use glyphosate for pre-plant burndown (follow label directions)
• Grass-selective herbicides may be used post-emergence if needed
• Avoid broadleaf herbicides that may damage clover, alfalfa, or chicory
• Mowing can help suppress weeds during establishment
