Chufa
Chufa is a sedge that turkey and deer absolutely love.
Turkeys target the underground tubers that produce a seed (nut)attached to the plant. Turkey and deer dig and scratch these tubers up and eat them. Some plants have produced as many as 100 tubers per plant. Chufa will do well anywhere corn is grown. It needs good soil and adequate rainfall. Best suited for Midwest and Southeastern states. Weed control is vital with Chufa as it can be choked out if weeds get too thick.
Chufa is broadcast at a rate of 50-60 lbs per acre. It does best in soils where the pH is between 6.0 and 7.0
Chufa needs a 100 day growing season, and a well prepared seed bed at planting.
