Highly nutritious, unsurpassed in its complete nutritional make up and a great source of antler-growing phosphorus. Extreme forage production and the highest protein of any in the plant industry make this the manager’s choice for growing big bucks. Vulnerable to heavy grazing the first 6 weeks. Plant additional acreage to compensate or protect with fencing. No other plant is proven to have such a dramatic impact on white-tailed deer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE ORIGINAL “MAGIC BEAN”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLABLAB was originally introduced to the United States from Australia by Dr. Gary Schwarz. Years of cooperative studies with the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute proved that Lablab could significantly increase the size of deer antlers and body mass while increasing the total carrying capacity of the land. Lablab consistently out performs all other annual legumes for the production of highly digestible summer protein. It is proven to perform under the harshest of growing conditions. Scientifically proven to add an unprecedented 20 to 40 inches of antler mass to mature bucks! These phenomenal results are due to the highly digestible protein (up to 38%) and ideal 2:1 Ca\/P ratio. Lablab is a superior summer legume that is well adapted to the tropical and sub-tropical climates. \u003cstrong\u003eLablab food plot seed\u003c\/strong\u003e is extremely heat and drought tolerant and requires a soil temperature greater than 68 degrees Fahrenheit for quick growth. Lablab is not suitable for small unprotected plots. This is the phenomenon that started people talking about the bucks on the Tecomate Ranch.
