Watermelon Maturity Group
Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai
A watermelon classification trait that determines the length of the growing period from emergence to technical fruit maturity, which is necessary for regional adaptation and the selection of cultivation technologies.
In the reference 328 varieties crop Watermelon, where this is mentioned in the description.
Watermelon maturity groups are categorized by the duration of the growing season: ultra-early and early-maturing varieties ripen in 55–75 days, mid-maturing varieties require 75–90 days, and late-maturing ones take 95–110 days or more. The choice of group is determined by the agroclimatic conditions of the region, where priority is given to early-maturing forms in zones with short summers.
This trait correlates with the economic qualities of the fruit: early varieties are more often used for early-season sales, while late-maturing ones, such as the 'Kholodok' variety, are distinguished by better storability and transportability. The actual ripening period depends on the sum of active temperatures, the required range of which is 2000–3000 °C, as well as on light conditions and plant density.
