The 'Jaga' common vetch is an annual legume plant that is grown for forage and green fertilizer. Thin, slender and branched stems and feathery palmate leaves that end with tendrils are characteristic for this plant. It develops bicolour purple-crimson flowers. Vetch produces small pods. Seeds of the 'Jaga' variety are brown with a pale marking. They contain only a minimal amount of cyanogenic compounds. Vetch develops a tap root with broadly spreading lateral roots. Nodules with symbiotic bacteria develop on the surface of the roots. These nodules absorb nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil after ploughing in.

Vetch needs plenty of water, particularly during the flowering period. Its soil requirements are average. This plant is tolerant when it comes to temperature changes.

The 'Jaga' vetch is particularly recommended for green fodder. It is exceptionally productive and rich in proteins. It can also be used for improving site properties in cereal rotation. The organic farms use common vetch as a fertilizer and for feeding animals. This plant is recommended for pure sowing and seed mixtures. The 'Jaga' vetch stands out with excellent resistance to both powdery and downy mildew..
