Morava Vetch (Soft Seeded)

Description MORAVA produces higher herbage yields than all other common vetch varieties. It is later flowering and maturing than Blanchefleur and grain yield will be reduced in environments with dry finishes. MORAVA is susceptible to Ascochyta blight and very susceptible to Botrytis because it produces very high biomass in wet/cool zones. Growing Conditions Soil Type Adapted to a range of soil types from sandy loams to clays of moderate fertility. Prefers neutral to alkaline soils Sowing Rate Grain 40 - 50kg/ha Hay/ Silage 50 - 60kg/ha Grazing 50 - 60kg/ha Green Manure 55 - 65kg/ha Rainfall 350mm+ pH 5.0 - 8.0 (CaCl2) Inoculant Group E Rhizobium Advantages Late Maturity 115+ days to full flower Soft seeded, non-shattering Resistant to rust and tolerant to ascochyta Improved soil health through increased nitrogen fixation High yield Potential 17% over Rasina in trials Productivity: Especially in winter Due to quarantine restrictions, we do not ship seeds to Western Australia or Tasmania
