Variety traits

Maturity group — red fescue

Festuca rubra L.

The maturity group of red fescue characterizes the relative rate at which a plant completes its main phenological phases, primarily heading and seed maturation.

In the reference 59 varieties crop Red fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

For red fescue, this trait is determined through expert assessment of the calendar dates of development from the onset of spring regrowth to seed maturity. Unlike cereal crops, there are no strict numerical standards in days for this grass; instead, the classification of varieties into groups, such as mid-late, is carried out in a comparative aspect relative to standards adopted in a specific trial zone.

This trait is of key importance for seed production and the selection of components for grass mixtures. It determines the rhythms of seed development, allowing for the forecasting of optimal harvest times to minimize losses from shattering, and also influences the dynamics of herbage regrowth, ensuring uniform plant development within the phytocenosis.
