Attraction timingLate October through hard freeze
Brassicas as a hunting food plot.
Brassicas are the late-season deer food plot species. Tubers and tops sweeten after frost and become primary attraction during the rut and post-rut. Time planting 60-90 days before first hard frost.
Regional strengths
Forage radish establishes well in the Mid-Atlantic North late-summer planting window — Pennsylvania, New York, and northern New Jersey hunters use it in brassica blends behind small-grain stubble and corn.
Regional weaknesses
Late-August / early-September planting window is narrow in NE-2 — push past Sept 15 and tops are unlikely to develop adequate biomass before hard freeze. Heavy clay Pennsylvania soils slow establishment.
Recommended for
- late-August Mid-Atlantic plots
- Pennsylvania food plot blends
Not recommended for
- plantings later than Sept 15
