Effect of planting density on the agronomic performance and forage potential of Vicia sativa L. in the high Andes of Peru

In the high Andean regions of Ancash, Peru, limited high-protein forage during dry seasons challenges livestock feeding. A locally adapted ecotype of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) grows spontaneously and shows resilience to harsh conditions. This study evaluates its agro-morphological traits, forage and seed yields, a...
