The vetches are generally partly-viny to weak-stemmed with leaves that usually terminate in tendrils and stems that are 2 to 5 feet or more in length, depending on the species and the condition under which they are grown.
Weaver (1954) stated that several colonies per acre were necessary for maximum pollination of hairy vetch but that the use of more than one colony per acre "might not be economical." Later, Weaver (1956a) estimated that one strong colony could provide adequate pollination for 3 to 5 acres.
The data indicate that, because repeated visits to individual flowers are desired and because the vetches are not always overly attractive to bees, a relatively heavy bee population on the crop is desired.

Hairy Vetch can be distinguished from other vetches by the presence of spreading hairs on its stems, the large number of flowers on its racemes (5-20 pairs), and the shape of its calyx (lower teeth much longer than the upper teeth; a swollen base that protrudes behind the pedicel).

 ARS | Publication request: Effects of Hairy Vetch Cover Crop and Banded Herbicides on Weeds, Grain Yield, and Economic ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Desiccation of hairy vetch cover crop over the corn-row compared to broadcast desiccation did not enhance weed control, reduced corn yield, and resulted in similar to lower net returns.
Regardless of the presence or absence of hairy vetch cover crop, applying PRE plus POST herbicides in a band compared to broadcast application reduced herbicide inputs by 63% while providing similar levels of weed control, corn yield, and greater net returns in one out of two years.
These findings indicate that hairy vetch cover crop had little effect on reducing densities of weed species studied, higher costs associated with cover crops can be negated with higher corn yields, and herbicide inputs could be reduced by applying herbicides in a band vs. broadcast without reducing corn yields or economic returns.

Thus, hairy vetch improved soil N supply to corn early in the season, prior to fertilizer N application.
Though greater NFE values with greater vetch growth and delayed planting were expected, the amount of that increase was smaller than expected, probably because of an unexpected decline in the optimum N rate with delayed planting in both the winter weeds and wheat cover systems.
The hairy vetch cover system works particularly well when the spring season is warm and moist enough to encourage rapid growth of the cover crop.
