Spanish term

bezas

Spanish to English Other Agriculture Pasture, meadows, grassla
SPAIN. This appears in my text about different types of pastureland. It's not in my copy of DRAE and an online search so far has only turned up "Bezas: a municipality located in the province of Teruel". I'm wondering if it might be a typo?

"70% leguminosas (trébol) combinadas con bezas y guisantes"

@Yep, that just dawned on me ... And I was about to close the query. I forgot about the common B vs V confusion.

vetch

Could be typo, b/v:

La veza es una planta leguminosa (Vicia sp.) que se cultiva para producir grano (95.000 ha) o para producir forraje (114.000 ha). El cultivo de veza como forraje ocupa un 10% de la superficie total forrajera, cultivándose mayoritariamente en secano (93%).

Vetch is an excellent forage as it is rich in protein elements and is easily digested. It can be given to horses, beef cattle or cattle alike with very satisfactory results for the farmer.
