Joint Vetch (AKA: Deer Vetch or Aeschynomene)
Type: Warm season reseeding annual legume
Uses: Aeschynomene is also known as deer vetch or American joint vetch. Used in Food plots for deer, turkey, rabbit, and quail.
Joint vetch is best suited for moist, fertile soils as it is much more tolerant of wet conditions than drought. It is known to have moderate shade tolerance.
These plants can reach 3 to 5 feet tall when mature and are generally very high in protein and quality for deer. Aeschynomene's attractiveness to wildlife will persist into the fall months until first frost, making it a favorite of bow hunters.
