FODDER PLANTS / COMMON VETCH (SUMMER)

Vicia sativa L.

A medium-late sowing vetch variety with a good growth rate at the beginning of the growing season

The plants are relatively large, abundantly leafy, tall (average stem height 100 cm)

The number of internodes is 24, up to the first inflorescence and pod - 18

Grows a large yield of green mass

Green mass grows in 62 days

Resistance to lying down - 3.7 points

Plants are moderately resistant to diseases and pests

Seeds can ripen in 118-130 days

The seeds are medium-sized, single-colored, gray-green in color

There are on average 8 of them in a pod

Weight of 1000 seeds - 80 g (in dry years - about 60 g)

Resistance to seed shedding - 7.6 points

It has a high green mass potential, so plants are sensitive to soil fertility

It also adapts well to less fertilized soils

Likes loose, deeply plowed and tilled soil

Grown in mixtures with oats

Fast growing at the beginning of the growing season, which allows them to better compete with weeds, and in a dry spring to resist weeding of oats in the mix

Very suitable for green manure

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended sowing rate: The mixture for ensiling consists of 60 kg/ha of vetch and 180 kg/ha of oats. In mixtures for green manure and feeding, 120 kg/ha of vetch and the same amount of oats, respectively
