	Invasive Exotic Plant Tutorial
		In Illinois, trailing crown vetch primarily invades communities that are fire-adapted.
		Wheeler (1991) reports that Lepyronia coleoptrata (Homoptera: Cercopidae), a spittlebug from Europe that feeds upon C. varia, has recently expanded its range into the northeastern U.S. Due to the continued use of C. varia as a forage, pasture, and erosion control plant, it is unlikely that a biocontrol agent will be introduced for its control.
		The herbicide mecamine (2,4-D plus Dicamba) is effective when foliar applied as a 1% solution to crown vetch plants in a state of rapid growth (spring or early summer before flowering).

	Invasive Plants of Wisconsin: Coronilla varia, crown vetch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Crown vetch is an herbaceous perennial that spreads aggressively by the growth of rhizomes and also reproduces readily from seed.
		Crown vetch is a legume and in league with bacteria it can "fix" nitrogen from the atmosphere into a chemical form that plants can use.
		That nitrogen is ultimately added to the soil and effectively fertilizes the site, thereby encouraging the growth of weeds, and the habitat is lost to native species even if the crown-vetch is later removed.

	Thistle and Crown Vetch - Weeds Forum - GardenWeb
		I made a huge mistake three years ago when I had a new home and they asked to spray crown vetch on my rather steep slope in the back yard sloping down and away from the yard.
		Now it is taking over the yard and thistles have come up everywhere in the crown vetch and are also encroaching into the yard.
		The grass recovers from the scalping but the crown vetch generally does not, at least if I get to the stuff before gets really established (maybe because the roots are still shallow and dry out?).

		One neighbor is advocating planting crown vetch in this rather large area as it will quickly populate and cover things.
		HOwever that time has passed, experience has shown the root system of the crown vetch is not adequate enough to hold the underlying soil.
		And the vetch itself fills in so much with very few roots that the underlying soil can erode away hidden by the vigorous yet shallow rooted crown vetch.

	Vetch
		Vetch is a good nitrogen fixer (like most legumes) and quite pretty.
		I figured that it would be a good thing to plant in the middle of the herb garden where everyone's roots could reach it.
		Crown vetch looks sort of silly when you restrain it time and time again by tying it into a ball to keep it from smothering other plants.
