Productivity of hairy vetch

Vicia villosa Roth

A comprehensive indicator of hairy vetch performance, evaluated by green mass yield, dry matter, seed productivity, and honey yield.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Hairy vetch, where this is mentioned in the description.

The forage productivity of hairy vetch is measured in t/ha or dt/ha. The green mass yield in winter crop mixtures ranges from 30–50 t/ha, biological yield can reach 25–28 t/ha, and dry matter accumulation can be up to 9 t/ha. The optimal harvesting stage is the beginning of flowering, which ensures up to 25% protein content in the hay.

Seed productivity of the crop typically varies from 6 to 8 dt/ha. Honey production potential is considered high, amounting to 140–200 kg/ha. These indicators depend on cultivation conditions, with the crop developing most effectively in soils with a pH of 6–7 and performing poorly in heavy clay soils.
