BioLogic's Turkey Gold Chufa Seeds For Food Plots

BioLogic Chufas (chew-fa) are one of the most popular plantings for wild turkeys. Each plant can grow 1-3 feet tall and produce 15-150 fingernail sized tubers just below the soil’s surface. These small peanut-like tubers are relished by wild turkeys and ducks. Turkeys scratch the tubers out of the ground and feed on them from fall to spring. BioLogic has teamed up with the NWTF to bring you the best quality chufas found anywhere and the information to help your planting be successful. It is important to understand that chufas require 90-110 frost free days to mature. It is best to select open areas that receive full sunlight for planting. Sandy or loamy soils with good soil moisture are ideal.

How To Plant Biologic Chufa For Turkey Food Plots

Chufas are best planted by preparing a firm seedbed by disking. Then broadcast the seed at a rate of 40 pounds per acre. The seed should be covered approximately 1" deep, and this can be accomplished with a cultipacker or by carefully using a disk to cover them.

When To Plant Biologic Turkey Chufa For Food Plots

Plant BioLogic Chufa in the spring when all danger of frost has passed. Chufas need 90-110 days of frost free growth to fully mature.

Fertilization For Turkey Chufa Food Plots

We highly recommend a comprehensive soil test. Fertilize and lime according to soil test results. For information on soil testing contact your Cooperative Extension service in your area.  Here is a list of county extension services by state we have compiled for your convenience.  Your agent should be able to assist you in getting a soil test and pH test.

Management Tips For Biologic Turkey Chufas For Food Plots

BioLogic recommends that you plant BioLogic Chufa every year, but it is possible to get a decent volunteer stand from the previous year's crop if the turkeys have not consumed all the tubers. If you have enough chufa left in the field, you can spread 300 pounds of pH Fertilizer per acre, thoroughly disk to incorporate the fertilizer and distribute the chufa seed. We also recommend that you rotate your plots every few years to prevent soil pests. BioLogic Clover Plus makes an excellent rotational crop for chufas and helps to add nitrogen back to the soil. Weed control is critical to success and several selective herbicides can help control weed issues. As always, read and follow label directions.
