BioLogic Plot Performance Chicory Additive allows any clover or typical “green-field” food plot to include the great nutritional quality and persistence of BioLogic’s chicory cultivars! Works extremely well in dry areas. Chicory is also a great source of protein ranging any where from 25%-30%.

When to Plant Northern Regions: All additives should be planted in early spring to allow root systems to develop prior to hot weather. Brassicas may also be planted in late summer or early fall; allow 30 – 60 days of growth prior to a frost.

Nutritional Value  Very high in minerals. 25%-30% crude protein Chicory is a deep-rooted, drought resistant, extremely nutritious perennial crop that has been a foundation of BioLogic’s perennial blends. Now these same cultivars are available as an additive that you can simply add to your food plot blends.

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.
