	Vetch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Vetch is a nitrogen fixing leguminous plant, often grown as green manure.
		From the 1881 Household Cyclopedia The tare (also known as common vetch) is a plant of a hardy growth, and when sown upon rich land will return a large supply of green fodder for the consumption of horse s or for fattening cattle.
		Vetch has been part of the human diet as well, it is attested by carbonised remains since the early Neolithic.

	Hairy Vetch
		Vetch is often grown with a small grain for forage; rye is generally used for this purpose in the Upper Midwest.
		Vetches are susceptible to several fungal diseases, some of which are restricted by temperature and moisture conditions to certain parts of the country.
		Vetch is attacked by many of the insect pests of alfalfa, clover and other forage legumes, including the pea aphid, cutworm, corn earworm, fall armyworm, vetch bruchid, grasshopper, lygus bug and leafhopper.

	Tufted Vetch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tufted Vetch is similar to a pea in growth habit, sending out noose-like tendrils from the tips of its leaves when it contacts another plant and securely fastens itself.
		Tufted Vetch is widely used as a forage crop for cattle, and is benefitial to other plants because, like other leguminous plants, it enriches the soil in which it grows by its nitrogen-fixing properties.
		The vetch may crowd out native plants, especially in areas of disturbed soil where the vetch may dominate before other plants have a chance to take hold.

	Vetch
		Vetch (genus Vicia) is a semivining, herbaceous plant of the legume family, which produces good-quality hay.
		Most vetches originated in the Mediterranean region and some species were introduced into Canada by the earliest immigrants.
		Vetch is now of little economic importance and commercial seed is scarce; however, historically, vetches have been used as an emergency FORAGE CROP, alone or with OATS or PEAS.

	Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Samuel Vetch (1668-1732). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The authorities knew how friendly Vetch was with the French and so it was determined that Vetch might prove to be very valuable if he was to be part of a delegation that was sent to Quebec in 1705; he was to take note of the defences and condition of Quebec and report back.
		Vetch, being the charmer that he was, before long, had the court of Queen Ann under his sway.
		Vetch was described by Parkman as being "impetuous, sanguine, energetic, and headstrong, astute withal, and full of ambition."5 Whatever his personality, it was not one that suited Nicholson, Vetch's comrade-in-arms during the capture of Port Royal in 1710.

	Vetch
		Hairy vetch is one of the most dependable cool-season annual legumes throughout the state.
		Stems of both common vetch and hairy vetch bear leaves with pinnate leaflets and terminate in tendrils that attach themselves to stems of other plants.
		Hairy vetch is susceptible to the vetch bruchid or weevil, which destroys the interior of the seed and which may not emerge for several weeks after harvest, leaving only empty seed coats.

	Crown Vetch
		Crown vetch is an invasive plant because of its creeping growth.
		Crown vetch is grown in most of the United States and takes two to three years to fully establish a full stand but develops excellent coverage in the first year and is a heavy seeding legume after maturity.
		Vetch is planted at the rate of 5-10 lb.

	Vicia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Certain species of vetch are suitable for consumption by ruminant animals, but not for single-stomach animals including humans, due to a toxin.
		However, split vetch seed (Vicia sativa) resembles split red lentils (Lens culinaris), and cases have been reported of vetch being deliberately mislabelled (by exporters or importers) and sold for human consumption to countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and Egypt, which are traditional consumers of lentils.

	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).
		According to Duke (1981), hairy vetch tolerates soil pH ranging from 4.9-8.2 with a mean of 40 cases being 6.6, and it is reputed to be tolerant of high pH.
		Under hairy vetch + 100 kg/ha of N per year, corn yields increased at an annual rate of 500 kg/ha from 1977 to 1981; the corresponding yields with rye and control plots remained the same or declined slightly during that period.

	ARS \| Publication request: Growth and Development of Hairy Vetch Cultivars in the Northeastern United States As ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		New cultivars of hairy vetch were developed at Auburn University that had not been tested in the northeastern U.S. We conducted trials at Beltsville, MD, Salisbury, MD, and Freeville, NY to evaluate the performance of these cultivars at different planting and termination dates.
		Four cultivars of hairy vetch (the unnamed "common" hairy vetch that is sold commercially and three cultivars developed at Auburn University, AU Early Cover, Advanced Population 8, and Advanced Population 26) were planted at either optimum or delayed dates and were harvested at either vegetative or full flowering stage.
		The number of GDD to achieve 50% soil cover by hairy vetch vegetation in late fall was predicted by an exponential model to be 655 while the GDD to achieve a biomass of 400 g m-2 in spring was predicted by a linear model to be 926.

	Hairy Vetch extending new roots in the 90'
		Chipps, like Stock, found that the hairy vetch lodged heavily when it was rained on, so this year he will sow rye and hairy vetch in August for an early 1991 hay crop.
		Where the vetch was the thickest he is planning on combining the vetch and oat mixture for seed for future plantings.
		With the price of hairy vetch doubling in 1990 to $1.50/lb due to increased demand, he feels he has, by chance, an opportunity not to be missed.

	Hairy Vetch
		The foliage of Hairy Vetch is palatable and can be eaten by mammalian herbivores, although there have reports of cattle being poisoned after feeding from bags that contained seeds of Hairy Vetch.
		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).
		However, Cow Vetch is a perennial plant that has appressed hairs on its stems and the calyx of its flowers doesn't have a protruding swollen base.

	Trailing Crown Vetch
		Trailing crown vetch is an herbaceous legume with creeping stems 2-6 feet (0.6-1.8 meters) long, bearing leaves consisting of 15-25 pairs of oblong leaflets.
		Trailing crown vetch is distinguished from other plants in the legume family by the following characteristics: 1) compound leaves with an odd number of leaflets ranging between 15-25, 2) the presence of leaves and flower stalks arising from the main stem, and 3) the occurrence of flowers in an umbel.
		Trailing crown vetch is a serious management threat to natural areas due to its seeding ability and rapid vegetative spreading by creeping roots.

	Kidney Vetch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Kidney Vetch is a native of Southern Europe but is now found throughout the whole of Europe, Western Asia, North Africa and America.
		Kidney Vetch probably only gained significance in Germany in the course of the 16th century and was valued in traditional medicine for the treatment of wounds.
		The balanced growth of the plant, which is at the same time an expression of the balance between building-up and breaking-down processes, is transferred to the skin, thus strengthening its resistance to destructive environmental influences and slowing down the aging process.

	Mercury: Plan to build marina at Vetch's causes concern
		Vetch's Pier, the 140-year-old stone reef where generations of Durban residents have learned to snorkel and scuba-dive, could be smothered with a layer of concrete and rocks as part of the new Point/uShaka Island development.
		"Vetch's Pier is a teeming mass of juvenile fish and other marine creatures and I think it would be an absolute crime to destroy it," said diver Stuart Donkin, who takes snorkellers to Vetch's and the adjoining Limestone Reef most weekends.
		According to local divers, Vetch's is one of the few places close to the city where visitors can see octopus, tropical fish and rare species such as stone bream and banded galjoen.

	UMass Extension Vegetable Program - Soil & Nutrient Management - Hairy Vetch
		Hairy vetch is a legume which means that it lives in a close relationship with rhizobia bacteria that invade and establish themselves in the roots of the plant as it grows.
		The easiest way to add the rhizobia to the vetch is to add a little water to the seed (enough to make the seed moist but not so much that it clumps) and then to mix in the inoculant so that it sticks to the seed.
		If the vetch did not survive the winter than it is advisable to plant a cash crop early in the spring.

	Field Peas & Vetch in Crop Rotations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Hairy vetch is a viny, cool-season legume, commonly used as forage crop in the southern states.
		Vetch's matted growth and heavy production of dry matter has also made it an ideal cover crop for no-till cropping schemes in which the vetch is mechanically- or chemically-killed and left in place as a weed suppressing mulch.
		While lacking the cold tolerance of alfalfa, hairy vetch has been grown as a winter-annual as far north as Wisconsin, though a more reliable stand is assured if it is spring-sown in northern states.

	Chapter 3: Clover and Some Relatives
		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.
		The common vetches are annuals, except for hairy vetch, which may be either annual or biennial.
		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.

	Vetch : an Alternative to Cereals Monoculture
		One solution is to rotate cereals with forage legumes such as vetches, something that ICARDA scientists had developed as a means of fixing nitrogen in the soil and boosting yields.
		Evidence indicates that common vetch is the best species to use in areas with rainfall of around 300mm, but there are many different vetch species, and many different breeding lines within those species, that prefer lower or higher rainfall.
		Cereals, vetches, livestock, soil conditions and market forces are all components of a complex pattern that we call agriculture.
