The trial aim is to compare six vetch varieties under different sowing dates and grazing/hay treatments to determine which procedures the bet biomass, feed quality and recovery after grazing. 

• Mid-April sown Benetas produced the most total biomass (graze + hay;
  9.7 t/ha) when grazed early (10 July) and then cut for hay.
• Mid-April sown TimokA and StudenicaA produced the most biomass
  (graze only; 6.7 t/ha) compared with the other varieties (average 5.7 t/ha)
  at the mid August (late) grazing.
• Mid-April sown vetch grazed late (13 August) did not recover sufficiently
  to enable a hay cut.
•  Early May sown TimokA produced the most biomass (graze only; 3.8 t/ha)
  compared with the other varieties at the mid August grazing.
• Early May sown Benetas produced the most biomass (hay only; 8.3 t/ha)
  cut for hay on 9 October.
•  Grazing feed value (digestibility, metabolisable energy and crude protein)
  was higher in Morava and TimokA from 16 April sowing with 10 July
  grazing compared to 7 May sowing with 14 August grazing.
