HAIRY VETCH # BULK

Hairy Vetch is a vigorous annual legume primarily used as a nitrogen-fixing cover crop. Hairy vetch is planted in the fall and starts growth before becoming dormant in winter. In the spring, with the longer days, the plants make abundant growth and fixes large quantities of nitrogen. It is also an excellent choice for use in Midwest areas requiring winter hardiness in a cool season legume. Hairy vetch can fix as much as 200 lb/acre of atmospheric nitrogen in ideal conditions.

Seeding rate 20 lbs. per acre drilled; 25 lbs. per acre broadcast; 15 lbs. per acre precision planted.
