- Common vetch is a highly valuable forage crop that has been grown throughout Anatolia
since ancient times.
- Grown for green forage and hay, common vetch is also widely used as green manure; its
seeds can also serve as animal feed.
- Gulhan 2005 is a domestic variety, carefully bred through selection from many common vetch
varieties.
- Compared with other varieties, higher forage yield and biological yield are obtained.
- Seed yield has reached very high levels, up to 450 kg per decare in Antalya.
- When grown with wheat, triticale or oats, more upright growth is achieved and harvesting
becomes easier.
