This study aimed to identify the variables influencing maize grain yield response to hairy vetch as a preceding cover crop and N fertilization in maize following hairy vetch. We conducted 70 experiments evaluating four treatments resulting from the inclusion (or not) of hairy vetch previous to maize with and without subsequent N fertilization. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.  aCover crops  aCrop Management  aNitrogen fertilization  aNitrogen limitation  aSISTEMA AGRÍCOLA-GANADERO - INIA  aSoil organic matter  aSustainable Development Goals (SDGs)  aVicia villosa  aZero hunger - Goal 21 aSALVAGIOTTI, F.1 aMALTESE, N.1 aECLESIA, R.
