Imperial Whitetail Power Plant Food Plot Seed
Turn your spring and summer food plot into a high-value whitetail destination with Imperial Whitetail PowerPlant. This annual wildlife seed blend is formulated for land managers who want more than a simple bean or pea plot. It is designed to deliver high-protein forage, withstand browsing pressure, and create a thick stand that deer can use for both feeding and cover. Whitetail Institute describes PowerPlant as producing forage protein up to 38% and as a blend made to handle heavy grazing better than standard agricultural bean plantings.
PowerPlant uses vining forage soybeans, cowpeas/peas, and sunflowers to create a vertical, high-volume food plot. The vining legumes provide attractive summer browse, while sunflowers add structure that helps the vines climb instead of spreading flat across the soil. Once established, the stand can continue producing forage while deer feed, making it a strong choice for properties with active summer deer movement.
Use Imperial Whitetail PowerPlant 25 lb for spring and summer wildlife plots, destination feeding areas, travel corridors, and warm-season cover. The dense growth can help provide security cover and bedding-style habitat while supplying deer with nutrient-rich forage during a critical time of year. PowerPlant is also Arrest MAX approved, giving managers a labeled option for controlling grasses in established PowerPlant stands when herbicide directions are followed.
