Parsley Maturity Group

Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nyman ex A. W. Hill

A classification trait determined by the duration of the growing season from full emergence to technical maturity, measured in calendar days.

In the reference 74 varieties crop Parsley, where this is mentioned in the description.

For leaf parsley, early-maturing varieties reach technical maturity of the foliage in 55–65 days, while mid-season varieties reach it in 80–90 days after emergence. For root parsley, the growing season is significantly longer, ranging from 120 to 200 days until the formation of a marketable root crop.

This trait is used to plan a continuous production cycle. When growing root varieties with a long growing season, it is important to limit leaf harvesting, as this slows down root crop growth, whereas for leaf forms, the key indicator is the rate of regrowth after cutting.
