Chicory Maturity Groups

Cichorium intybus L.

Classification of chicory cultivars based on the length of the growing period from emergence to technical maturity, which determines harvest timing and inulin accumulation.

In the reference 109 varieties crop Chicory, where this is mentioned in the description.

For root chicory, a classification by maturity groups has been established based on the number of days from emergence to the onset of technical maturity of the roots. Early-maturing cultivars ripen in less than 125 days, mid-season cultivars mature in the period from 125 to 139 days, and late-maturing cultivars require more than 139 days of vegetation.

For leaf (witloof) chicory, the growing period varies significantly depending on the cultivar type and growing conditions, ranging from 55 to 90 days or more. Determining the maturity group is essential for planning the harvest schedule, ensuring the target chemical composition of the roots, and adapting to the length of the frost-free period in the cultivation region.

General information about the subject — on the page Maturity group.
