Vicia sativa L.

A medium late vetch with excellent growth habit at the beginning of vegetation and high yields

  • High yield of green mass
  • The plants tall (100 cm), relatively large, abundant in leaves
  • Great number of noodles (24)
  • Seeds are medium-sized, monochromatic, grey-greenish
  • 8 seeds per pod, 1000 seed weight – 80 g
  • Suitable for mixtures with oats
  • Plants are relatively large, abundantly leafy, tall (average stem height 100 cm)
  • Number of internodes – 24, up to the first inflorescence and pod – 18
  • Produces a high yield of green mass
  • Green mass grows in 62 days
  • Resistance to lodging – 3.7 points
  • Plants are moderately resistant to diseases and pests
  • Seeds can mature in 118-130 days
  • Seeds – medium-sized, single-coloured, grey-green colour
  • 8 seeds in a pod
  • 1000 seeds weight – 80 g (in dry years – about 60 g)
  • Resistance to seed scattering – 7.6 points
  • Has a high green mass potential, so plants are sensitive to soil fertility
  • Adapts well to less fertile soils
  • Likes loose, deeply ploughed and tilled soil
  • Grown in mixtures with oats
  • Fast growing early in the growing season, which allows them to better compete with weeds and resist weeding of oats in the mix in a dry spring
  • Very suitable for green manure
  • Average seed yield – 1.63 t/ha
  • Seed yield potential – 2.58 t/ha
  • Average yield of green mass dry matter – 2.88 t/ha
  • Green mass dry matter yield potential – 5.95 t/ha
  • The average duration of the vegetation period until harvest for green mass – 63 days
  • The average duration of the vegetation period for seed production – 118 days
  • The average height of the plants – 95 cm
  • Foliage – high (50.7 % of total plant mass)
  • Good suppression of weeds
  • Moderately resistant to diseases and pests
  • 1000 seeds weight – 82.3 g
  • Protein content in seeds DM – 32.6 %
  • Protein content in the dry matter of green mass – 17.8 %
  • Resistance to plant lodging – 3.7 points (based on a 9-point rating scale)
  • Resistance to seed scattering – 7.6 (based on a 9-point rating scale)
  • When growing them in less fertile soils, as well as applying less fertilization, plants of this variety produce a higher yield than other summer vetch varieties

*According trial data at Kaunas and Utena plant variety testing stations in 1998-2000

By UAB "AGROLITPA" produced certified seeds of vetch AISIAI had following weight of 1000 seeds: in 2020 – 63.1 g, in 2021 – 56.5 g, in 2022 – 55.4 g, in 2023 - 52.9 g.

The varietal parameters may differ from those indicated here when the testing circumstances differ from quondam
