Description

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.
