For Chinese cabbage, the concept of a maturity group is expressed as the number of days from emergence to the attainment of market maturity of the rosette. The growing season range varies from 25 to 30 days for early-maturing forms grown for microgreens or baby leaf, to 50–55 days for the development of full-grown plants with large petioles.
The maturity index is a critical factor in crop planning, as the crop is extremely sensitive to long daylight hours and prone to premature bolting. Using varieties with different maturation timeframes allows agronomists to organize conveyor production and avoid cultivation during periods of unfavorable temperature and light conditions.
