“I guess we could plant something other than Tecomate, but why? Tecomate Wildlife Nutrition– where the reality is even better than the dream.” -Jeff Foxworthy Comedian/Sportsman

Welcome to Tecomate SeedFor over 25 years, Tecomate founder Dr. Gary Schwarz and North American Whitetail founder David Morris have worked with wildlife biologists and agronomists to maximize wildlife nutrition through food plot management. What they discovered has become the foundation for a year-round nutritional program that is unparalleled in its results. Their research fills volumes and has been released in peer review publications, but the essence of the work can be stated simply; with proper planning of food source management, anyone can dramatically improve the health, size and quality of wildlife on any property.

Barenbrug USATecomate Seed is a division of Barenbrug USA, a branch of the Royal Barenbrug Group, the world’s largest privately held seed company with 20 corporate facilities in 12 countries on five continents.

For over 100 years, Barenbrug has kept its research capability at the forefront of seed technology and innovation around the globe. For the past decade, this exceptional scope of knowledge has been focused on the nutritional needs of wildlife and particularly on the attraction and nutrition of whitetail deer. The result is a premium selection of products designed by some of the foremost researchers in the world. Tecomate Seed is the result of Barenbrug’s commitment to providing the highest quality products, regionally blended for specific climates nationwide; developed, researched and tested for success!

Developing effective deer nutrition products requires a working knowledge of what deer need and want - nutrition and attraction are paramount. Tecomate researchers know that quality seeds, cultivars and hybrids can best provide the proper balance between nutrition and palatability. In addition, since most food plots are at the mercy of natural rainfall and temperature, we understand the importance of selecting varieties that survive a wide range of weather conditions. Varieties are selected for drought tolerance, germination rate, disease resistance and hardiness, as well as nutrition and palatability. Each selection is tested and studied in a controlled environment before extensive field testing by partner Universities and qualified experts around the U.S.

TECOMATE SEEDTECOMATE ZONE MAP

The Tecomate Zone Map is a valuable tool when planning food plots. Tecomate recommendations are based on extensive research and quantified results in specific zones. Further, each recommended product is regionally blended using seeds that are best suited for the climate and rainfall in that area.

PRIMARY RECOMMENDATIONS refer to the best plot choices to establish a year-round nutritional program and should be used on the bulk of available acreage.

FIRST IN WILDLIFE NUTRITION

Tecomate Seed makes product recommendations based specifically on the region where they are best adapted (see map above). Recognizing that areas of the country differ in environmental conditions is only one piece of the puzzle. Regional Tecomate agronomists are an integral part of the sales effort. As a result, our sales representatives are regionally trained to understand the environmental requirements of plants and wildlife. Additionally, regional representation provides better understanding of distribution needs and the customer’s perception of the Tecomate Seed brand.

Seed coating improves seed performance.

Yellow Jacket® is Barenbrug’s proprietary seed coating. Yellow Jacket utilizes Zeba® superabsorbant technology to produce a coating that can hold up to 600 times its own weight in water. Research trials at the University of New Mexico proved that seed coated with Yellow Jacket established faster and required less water. Yellow Jacket simultaneously helps seed thrive while conserving water.
