Variety traits

Lentil Maturity Group

Lens culinaris Medik.

The maturity group of lentils is determined by the duration of the growing season from emergence to maturity, ranging from 70–120 days, and the sum of active temperatures in the range of 1400–1900 °С.

In the reference 25 varieties crop Lentil, where this is mentioned in the description.

Lentil maturity is characterized by the growing season, measured as the number of days from seedling emergence to harvest maturity. Crop maturation requires the accumulation of a sum of active temperatures between 1400 and 1900 °С. Despite the classification of varieties into categories based on ripening time, such as early-maturing or mid-early, there are no fixed numerical intervals between them in scientific literature.

Selecting the maturity group is a critical factor when planning sowing dates, as it allows for the utilization of regional moisture reserves. Incorrect variety selection for specific climatic conditions increases the risk of Ascochyta blight, plant lodging, and pod shattering due to delayed harvesting. Furthermore, ripening times dictate the choice of harvesting technology, including direct combining or swathing.
