Variety traits
Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.
There is no standardized maturity group scale for Phacelia tanacetifolia; therefore, this trait is determined by the length of the growing season in days from sowing to mowing or seed maturity.
In the reference 9 varieties crop Lacy phacelia, where this is mentioned in the description.
The ripening period of Phacelia varieties is characterized by the number of days until specific developmental stages are reached. For example, for the 'Ryazanskaya' variety, the period until mowing maturity is 50–55 days, and until full seed maturity is 105–115 days. The absence of a unified classification means that terms such as 'early-maturing' or 'mid-maturing' are conditional.
Understanding the maturation rates of a specific variety is essential for planning agrotechnical operations. When using the crop as a green manure, it is important to incorporate the biomass before the onset of flowering to prevent self-seeding. When grown for seeds, assessing development rates is critical due to the risk of seed shattering if harvesting is delayed.
