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.

Large capacity in a small footprint
Color: Black, Color: Black
I teach jewelry making classes, and I like to have examples set out ahead of time to inspire students, or demonstrate certain techniques they will be learning. The problem is always having enough space for cording, beads, spacers, and work stations, as well as the demo items. This excellent tall necklace stand is helping me solve this space issue, because it is designed to be such an efficient use of vertical space. It comes disassembled, but takes only minutes to assemble. The metal was smooth, and the packaging prevented any scratches in shipping. I was able to hang a dozen (I only doubled up on one space) necklaces in a very small footprint of countertop, each slightly separated, and students could quickly remove each one without any tangling. These are so efficient, and I will order again. They would also be great for a vanity or bath countertop, or on a shelf, for personal jewelry storage.

Organize your jewelry with a clean aesthetic look!
Color: Gold
The Lolalet Necklace Stand is highly recommended for anyone whose main struggle is tangled necklaces. It transforms daily jewelry selection from a chore into a pleasure. If you prioritize beautiful display, easy access, and reliable tangle prevention, this helix-shaped organizer is a stylish and functional winner. Plenty of room for 10 plus necklaces, it was really easy to put together and looks clean and organized and keeps the jewelry I own easy to find.

It is just right and adorable as well as secure
The color green is beautiful . It’s very small and easy to carry about . I bought the larger double zip one which was perfect . Being undecided I bought both the large and small one as well as a much larger one because I could decide for sure since two were gifts . I have given the larger zip one in green to my granddaughter as a gift . I was going to return the tiny one but I love it . It will be perfect at this size and price point to keep and use as a spare jewlery case for quick changes from the gym or just a tiny travel case for a weekend away . It’s very well made so no worries about it being crushed . The closure is great . And it’s soft inside for good jewlery to be secure . It a great product to hold find jewlery for going away for a night . It’s easily organized . If you only own one travel case I would suggest the larger one by this company which has two secure zippers . It has more space and is well made . If you want tiny go to quick change from office to gym or over night then I would suggest the small one . The color green is beautiful , smooth, functional and the inside is adjustable to fit quite a bit of different jewlery . Easy to grab and it could sit on a vanity or bathroom daily to hold your jewlery changes . It’s also a great size for travel for tweezers , q tips , travel brush, eyeliner . You don’t have to use it for just jewlery . Small enough to toss into a bag or even glove compartment for changing from a sorting day to evening dinner . So I am keeping it for myself .

Cute color, Useful, Good size
For me it’s not too big or not too small, love the texture and look of the box, and I can fit all of my jeweler in this one, i love the big box at the bottom and the smaller on the right side plus the removable board for stud earrings and stuff. Seems like good quality too
