AI Overview
Plant Japanese millet in late spring or mid-summer when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F to 65°F. Broadcast or drill seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep at 20 to 30 pounds per acre. It thrives in wet mud flats and moist soils, making it an ideal, fast-maturing food plot for ducks. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Timing and Location
  • Season: Plant from late spring through mid-summer (April to August depending on your region).
  • Soil Temperature: Ensure soil is at least 60°F–65°F.
  • Site Selection: Ideal for moist soil units, damp fields, or drawn-down duck ponds with exposed mud flats. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    • Planting Method
  • Seeding Rate: Use 20–25 lbs per acre when drilled, or up to 25–35 lbs per acre when broadcast.
  • Depth: Plant shallow at 1/4 to 3/4 inch deep. On wet mud flats for wildlife, seeds can simply be broadcast directly onto the surface without heavy incorporation.
  • Water Management: Allow the plant to grow 12 to 18 inches tall and produce a strong stalk before flooding the area shallowly. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
