Purple Top Turnip (Brassica rapa) is a cool-season root vegetable that is widely grown for its edible bulbs and leafy greens. It's a preferred crop for wildlife food plots due to its high palatability and nutritious foliage and tubers. Turnips are especially favored by deer, wild turkeys, and rabbits. These plants grow quickly, providing an excellent fall food source and cover for wildlife. They are also great for soil health, adding organic matter and improving soil structure.

Benefits for Wildlife

Highly attractive to deer and other wildlife – Leaves and roots are nutritious and favored by many species.
Edible root and foliage – The roots are rich in energy and nutrients, while the leaves are excellent for grazing.
Fast-growing – Provides a food source within a few months, making it ideal for late-season wildlife forage.
Effective cover for wildlife – The leafy growth provides shelter and nesting opportunities for various species.

Planting Guidelines for Purple Top Turnip

  • Planting Times:

    • Spring (early April to May) for early season growth or late summer (late July to early August) for fall forage. Plant at least 60–90 days before the first frost for optimal root development.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep – Shallow planting ensures proper germination, as seeds are small.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 3–4 lbs per acre for even seed distribution and consistent growth.
    • Broadcast: 5–6 lbs per acre; lightly incorporate the seeds into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 60–90 days from planting to maturity, depending on weather and soil conditions.
    • Roots are typically ready for harvest or wildlife feeding within 2 to 3 months.
  • Height at Maturity:

    • 12–18 inches – The plant's height varies based on growing conditions, with leafy growth extending above the root.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • Moderate – Purple top turnip tolerates dry conditions but requires adequate moisture during the growing season for optimal root development.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low – Prefers well-drained soils and does not tolerate excessive waterlogging or heavy rainfall for extended periods.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Requires full sun for healthy growth and robust root development.

Fertilization Guidelines for Purple Top Turnip

  • Soil pH:

    • Prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH of 6.0–7.0 for optimal growth and nutrient uptake.
  • Nitrogen (N):

    • Apply 30–50 lbs per acre of nitrogen to encourage leafy growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to too much foliage and poor root development.
  • Phosphorus (P) & Potassium (K):

    • Apply 40–60 lbs of phosphorus and 50–80 lbs of potassium per acre for strong root development.
    • Soil testing is recommended to determine exact nutrient needs.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply fertilizers at planting to ensure that nutrients are available during the establishment phase.

Herbicide Use for Purple Top Turnip

  • Weed Control:

    • Weeds can reduce turnip yields, so weed control is important in the early stages of growth.
  • Pre-emergence Herbicides:

    • Pendimethalin and Trifluralin are common herbicides for controlling weeds before emergence but should be used carefully to avoid harming turnips.
  • Post-emergence Herbicides:

    • Broadleaf herbicides should be used cautiously as they may damage turnips, especially if applied when the plants are still young.

     

Mechanical Weed Control:

  • Cultivation or mowing is also an effective method to control weeds in turnip plots without using herbicides.

Dogs love them!
Size: Large, Color: 5 Pack
May dogs loved these. The squeaks last long enough but get lots of wear and tear. Worth money for the fun. My dog is 12 and still enjoys perfect size, weight, and flexibility.

GREAT Value even for a big boy.
Size: Large, Color: 5 Pack
My new 80lb husky/lab rescue LOVED his birthday present. They crinkle has he plays air-fetch w/himself! He does instantly puncture the squeekies at either end, but he's a large dog who chews. And these are SAFE for that. I figure 5 will last 2 months, but for the price? Who cares! He's worth it! Next time I'll go brighter colors because he tosses far &wide.

Squeaker short-lived, enjoyment long-lasting
Size: Large, Color: 5 Pack
My 10-pound dorkie rips out the squeakers in about 30 minutes. I wish they were sturdier or the parts of the toy housing the squeaker were reinforced. However, he is so excited to get a new one and will continue to play with it even when the squeaker is out. He loves to play tug. They do get pretty gross from the chewing and definitely benefit from a trip through the washer. While this is not a very sturdy toy it provides so much entertainment I had to give it four stars.

Husky Approved
Size: Large, Color: 5 Pack
Okay, so my husky, bless his cotton socks, thinks he's a furry little demolition crew. Usually, plush toys last about five minutes before they're disemboweled, leaving a fluffy white crime scene all over my living room. BUT! These Sharlovy toys are a game changer! They're stuffing-free, which is a HUGE win for my sanity (and my vacuum cleaner). He can happily gnaw away, trying to get to that squeaker (and succeeding, eventually, because, husky), but without the usual explosion of fluff. Five stars for saving me from a lifetime of stuffing-related stress. If you have a chewer, give these a try. Your house (and your head) will thank you.
