Maturity group — flax
Linum usitatissimum L.
A classification trait of flax that determines the length of the growing season from emergence to technical or full maturity, ranging from 62 to 120 days.
In the reference 120 varieties crop Common flax, where this is mentioned in the description.
The maturity group of flax is determined by the number of days from emergence to the onset of biological or economic maturity. For fiber flax, the target phase is early yellow maturity, which corresponds to the harvesting period for fiber, whereas for oilseed flax, the achievement of full seed maturity is considered.
Selecting a variety based on its maturity group is critical for adaptation to the regional climate. In areas with a short growing season, early-maturing varieties are used, which mitigates the risks of incomplete seed ripening, reduced fiber quality, and lower oil content, while also allowing for the optimization of harvesting equipment operations.
