Oasis forage chicory is a broad leaved perennial herb that has been bred for improved disease resistance, which significantly increases survival under grazing. Protein levels in chicory range from 10% to 32%, depending on plant maturity. Digestibility of chicory leaves is generally between 90% and 95%. Chicory contains relatively high levels of minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and sodium) which are essential for proper animal nutrition. Chicory also has a deep taproot which provides excellent drought tolerance. All of these characteristics combine to make Oasis chicory an ideal choice for wildlife food plots.In the South, plant in the spring or fall. Plant seeds no deeper than � to � inch. It is important to have good seed-to-soil contact and not have the seed planted to deep. Oasis chicory should be planted at the rate of 4-5 lbs per acre. For mixtures, plant 2 to 3 lbs.Oasis chicory performs best in pH levels of 5.6 or greater. It may therefore be necessary to raise the pH by broadcasting lime. Broadcast 300 lbs of 10-10-10 per acre at initial planting. If chicory is grown without a legume (clover or alfalfa), apply 100-150lbs of Nitrogen per acre per year in split applications of 50 lbs per acre. The first application should be in made in early spring, the second in early summer, and the third in early fall. If chicory is planted with a legume, annual Nitrogen applications should be restricted.Ungrazed seed stalks in the summer should be mowed off to stimulate new leaf growth.
