Rackmax was a plant growth stimulation product that was supposed to be sprayed on crops at seeding time to make them grow faster.[1] It was marketed to hunters with the claim that it would improve the growth of clover which would attract and nourish deer and other hoofed animals.[2]
The product was presumed to contain auxin or some similar growth hormone.
The product was manufactured and sold by the Rack-max company of Mobile, Alabama. The company was founded in 2003 by Harry Edward Haas (1950-12-21 – 2024-07-06) and apparently ceased operations some time before his death.[3]
