Variety traits
Festuca arundinacea Schreb.
A characteristic of tall fescue varieties that determines the rate of development phases from spring regrowth to hay or seed maturity.
In the reference 90 varieties crop Tall fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.
For tall fescue, the maturity group is determined by the duration of interphase periods in days. The main reference points are the mass heading phase, corresponding to hay maturity, and seed development stages—from milk to full maturity. Varieties are classified as early, mid-season, or late-maturing depending on the number of days required to complete these stages.
A quantitative assessment example is the classification of varieties by the number of days until harvest (e.g., 40–67 days) and seed maturity (84–111 days). This trait is key to establishing a sequential harvesting system, allowing for the prevention of forage quality decline due to plant tissue coarsening and the minimization of seed losses from shattering during maturation.
