Variety traits
Vicia villosa Roth
An important morphological characteristic of hairy vetch that determines cultivation technology and productivity. Due to the lodging stem, actual height depends heavily on the presence of companion crops in the field.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Hairy vetch, where this is mentioned in the description.
Hairy vetch is characterized by high variability in values: without the use of support, plant height is 30–70 cm, whereas when grown in binary crops with cereal components, it reaches 100–200 cm. In breeding practice, forms with different stem lengths are distinguished; for example, the 'Povolzhskaya gibridnaya' cultivar reaches 90–110 cm.
When evaluating this trait, agronomists consider not only the natural length of the shoot in an extended state but also the actual condition of the stand. Due to its weak stem, the crop is prone to lodging; therefore, plant height directly influences the choice of harvesting method, mowing losses, and the final green mass yield.
