| | Cover Crop Database: Complete Crop Summary of Hairy Vetch |
 | | In the south, hairy vetch does not renew growth during the temporary warm spells, and consequently, is not as likely to be killed by severe frosts later (McLeod, 1982). |
 | | Hairy vetch is said to be unlike other vetches in its extreme winter hardiness (Madson, 1951); it is seldom, if ever, winter-killed in California (Goar, 1934) and is more cold-tolerant than crimson clover. |
 | | Hairy vetch is useful as forage, hay, silage, green manure, and in cover crops (Duke, 1981; McLeod, 1982). |
