Common Vetch Vicia sativa
Common vetch is a fast-growing, high-yielding winter annual ideal for a winter forage, cover crop, wildlife and pollinator habitat.
Species Summary
Common vetch is a fast-growing, high-yielding winter annual ideal for a winter forage, cover crop, wildlife and pollinator habitat. It is not winter-hardy, so it is best to be used in southern areas or where winter survival is not important. It can also be planted early spring for plowdown in early summer.
Coat for Optimal Performance
For optimal performance, common vetch should be inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae. This is best achieved with Nitro-Coat®.
