PER BAG VETCH MORAVA (25) SYNERGY MORAUNCERT-25
Grain yield is superior to other vetches in the high-rainfall areas and to Blanchefleur, Languedoc and Cummins in all other areas in the presence of rust. It is larger seeded and more resistant to shattering than other vetch varieties. MORAVA’S BCN level is 0.65 per cent, which is 50 per cent lower than Blanchefleur and Languedoc.
MORAVA produces higher herbage yields than all other common vetch varieties. It is later flowering and maturing than Blanchefleur and grain yield will be reduced in environments with dry finishes. MORAVA is susceptible to Ascochyta blight and very susceptible to Botrytis because it produces very high biomass in wet/cool zones.

Common Questions
What's MORAVA vetch best suited to?
MORAVA is adapted to a range of soil types from sandy loams to clays of moderate fertility, and prefers neutral to alkaline soils. It performs well in high-rainfall areas and shows superior grain yield to other vetch varieties in the presence of rust. It's also later flowering and maturing than other common varieties, so it suits longer-season growing.
What sowing rate should I use?
The sowing rate depends on your intended use. For grain, use 40–50 kg/ha. For hay, silage, or grazing, use 50–60 kg/ha. For green manure, use 55–65 kg/ha. Always follow the rate on the bag for your specific situation.
What's the difference between MORAVA and other vetch varieties?
MORAVA has larger seeds and is more resistant to shattering than other varieties. It produces higher herbage yields and is resistant to rust. Its BCN level is 0.65 per cent, which is 50 per cent lower than Blanchefleur and Languedoc. However, it is susceptible to Ascochyta blight and very susceptible to Botrytis in wet/cool zones, so it's not ideal for those conditions.
What rainfall does MORAVA need?
MORAVA requires 350 mm of rainfall or more to perform well.
Does MORAVA need inoculant?
Yes, MORAVA should be inoculated with Group E Rhizobium to help establish nitrogen fixation and improve soil health.
