Variety traits
Brassica oleracea L. (Broccoli Group)
A characteristic determining the duration of the period from emergence or transplanting to the technical maturity of the head. It is measured in days and divides varieties into early-maturing (55–80 days), mid-maturing (70–110 days), and late-maturing (100–150 days).
In the reference 139 varieties crop Broccoli, where this is mentioned in the description.
For broccoli, the maturity group is a key indicator for harvest planning, determining the timeframe for the head to reach marketability. Classification is based on calendar days, counted from the moment of seedling emergence or transplanting into the soil, although specific indicators within groups may shift under the influence of regional climatic conditions and the chosen cultivation technology.
When selecting a variety, an agronomist considers the correlation between maturity dates and quality characteristics of the yield, as early varieties often form heads of lower weight, while late-maturing ones are more resistant to temperature fluctuations. Knowledge of the maturity group is essential for creating continuous conveyor production and minimizing the risks of premature bolting, to which early-maturing hybrids show increased sensitivity if agrotechnical practices are violated.
