Variety traits

Maturity group — oats

Avena sativa L.

The maturity group of common oats (Avena sativa) is determined by the length of the growing season from emergence to full or waxy ripeness, measured in days.

In the reference 248 varieties crop Oat, where this is mentioned in the description.

In the state variety testing system for oats, a classification is adopted where early-maturing varieties have a growing season of up to 100 days, medium-early varieties 101–110 days, medium-maturing varieties 111–120 days, and late-maturing varieties 121–130 days. Depending on the climatic zones of cultivation, these intervals may vary.

A short growing season is in demand in northern regions to protect the crop from early frosts, whereas late-maturing varieties are capable of realizing a higher yield potential under favorable conditions. The choice of maturity group allows for the avoidance of adverse factors, such as peak drought or high temperatures during the critical phases of panicle formation and grain filling.
