Variety traits

Chard maturity group

Beta vulgaris Leaf Beet Group

Classification of chard varieties based on the number of days from full germination to the first marketable harvest of leaves and petioles.

In the reference 42 varieties crop Swiss chard, where this is mentioned in the description.

The chard maturity group is determined by the time period in days from the moment of full germination to the onset of technical maturity, when the leaves and petioles reach a commercially suitable size for the first harvest. Early-maturing varieties reach this stage in 30–50 days, mid-season varieties in 60–90 days, and late-maturing varieties require more than 90–100 days.

This metric is used for organizing a continuous production cycle of greens. Maturity periods correlate with the physiological characteristics of the varieties, such as the retention of leaf tenderness and resistance to petiole lignification, which allows agronomists to select varieties for specific harvesting strategies and planting densities.
