American Jointvech (Deer Vetch)

Description: A warm-season annual, re-seeding legume adapted to moist soils. Highly preferred by deer and generally will not re-seed under moderate to heavy browsing pressure.

Soil Adaptation: Adapted to moist, and wet, light textured soils. Do not plant in sandy soils.

Fertilization: A soil test is recommended, or use 300 lbs/acre of 0–10–20.

Lime Requirements: Apply according to soil test or as necessary to maintain a soil pH of 5.5–6.5.

Planting Rate: Broadcast 8–10 lbs/acre and cover 0.25 inch; inoculation required.

Soil Preparation: Plant in a well disked, firm seedbed.

Management: Spring disking can enhance re-seeding; reapply 200 lbs/acre of 0–10–20. Not very competitive—may require pre-planting herbicide application.
