Vetch end use and how it affects the cropping rotation
20.02.2024Delaying the brown manure termination timing by 4–6 weeks doubled biomass production. Morava and Volga produced the most grazing biomass and highest hay yield. As expected, crops terminated later in the season use more moisture, but may leave
