IN NEW ORLEANS THEY ADD CHICORY TO COFFEE. AROUND HERE WE ADD IT TO DEER.

If you’ve ever witnessed the wee hour crowds parked at Café Du Monde and wondered where they found the energy, the answer may rest in chicory. Highly nutritious and decidedly palatable to deer, our new BioLogic Chicory blend will be a highly effective addition to any plot. To the deer managers who’ve tried it, chicory has provided a dependable and impressive addition to their plots. Superior health and substantial antler growth are the most obvious benefits. What many managers also appreciate is Chicory’s ability to thrive in the most severe conditions. Chicory does best when added to other blends or single crops. Over-seeded or mixed with other seeds during the initial establishment of the plot, you can expect three to five years of sustained regrowth.

Primary Usage   Chicory thrives in dry, hot weather and also becomes very palatable at that point. When your clovers go dormant in the hot, dry weather, chicory keeps a nutritious food source available. Chicory can also be a great attractor for hunting season.
Soil Type   Will grow in all soil types pending adequate soil moisture is available. Does well in dryer areas where some clovers are hard to establish.
How to Plant   BioLogic Chicory is best planted during the early Fall, preferably prior to a rain, in southern regions. Moisture is key to developing healthy roots before the onset of Summer’s hot dry weather. In the North, planting is most successful in the Spring. Target plantings to coincide with leaf formation on hardwood trees. If you’re just freshening up an existing plot frost seeding is an acceptable technique.
