Variety traits

Maturity group — oilseed radish

Raphanus sativus L. var. oleiformis Pers.

The maturity group of oilseed radish characterizes the length of the growing season from emergence to cutting or full biological maturity, determining the crop's suitability for stubble cropping and green manuring.

In the reference 50 varieties crop Oil radish, where this is mentioned in the description.

There are no standardized numerical maturity scales for oilseed radish, so varieties are classified as early, mid-season, or late-maturing based on the duration of their vegetative period. The primary criterion is the number of days from mass emergence to reaching the target development phase.

When grown for green manure, cutting maturity is reached within a range of 35–50 days, which allows the crop to be included in catch cropping systems and green fodder sequences. The period to reach full seed maturity ranges from 87 to 100 days.

Choosing a variety based on its maturity group is critical for harvesting management, as mowing for green manure is recommended from the onset of flowering to the appearance of pods. Delayed harvesting leads to stem lignification and a reduction in the nutritional value of the green mass.
