Cahaba Vetch
Cahaba vetch provides a means of supplying an excellent forage source in the eastern and southern parts of the United States during summer months. It does not tolerate cold temperatures and will begin to die off around 20°F. As a summer legume, it can be used to follow wheat or other summer grains to fix nitrogen and provide a grazing or forage source. An added benefit to your cover cropping programs, Cahaba vetch can assist in controlling some nematode species.
