Oasis Forage Chicory is a robust, high-yielding perennial herb with broad leaves, offering excellent nutritional value for wildlife and livestock. This variety has been specially cultivated for enhanced disease resistance, making it a reliable and resilient option for pastures and wildlife feed plots. One of its key features is its impressive drought tolerance, supported by a deep taproot system that helps the plant survive and thrive even in drier conditions or under consistent grazing pressure.
This chicory variety is slower to bolt, maintaining its productive growth longer into the season. It also breaks winter dormancy earlier, providing an extended growing period when planted alongside clovers. Together, this combination ensures a prolonged season of nutrient-rich forage, perfect for sustaining wildlife or livestock with high-quality feed.
Oasis Forage Chicory thrives in moderately drained soils with a pH of 5.5 or above, making it well-suited for soils of medium to high fertility. Its durability and adaptability make it an ideal choice for a sustainable, long-term forage solution that supports both biodiversity and productivity in a managed grazing environment.
