Buck Buster Brassicas (Annual)

Buck Buster Brassicas (Annual)

Buck Buster Brassicas is a blend of hybrid brassicas, forage rape and turnips. This blend is also found in our Buck Buster Extreme and our Secret Weapon. Buck Buster Brassicas attracts and holds deer late into the fall and early winter. It provides an excellent source of energy to help deer get through the harshest winters. If you seed by itself, use more nitrogen fertilizer. Depending upon moisture and soil conditions, this product can easily grow to 3 feet tall. You can add this blend to other mixes if you want to extend the growing period and add more attraction to another mix. Use 1.5 to 2 pounds per 1/2 acre. Because this blend sprouts and grows rapidly, you can also use it as a cover crop over a perennial mix.

Plant in the spring, as soon as conditions permit.
