Variety traits

Maturity group — white mustard

Sinapis alba L.

For white mustard, maturity group classification is not applied; cultivar characteristics are determined by the length of the growing season from emergence to full seed maturity or technical maturity of the green biomass.

In the reference 64 varieties crop White mustard, where this is mentioned in the description.

The maturity of white mustard is measured by the number of days of vegetation and the sum of active temperatures. For seed production, a temperature sum of 1600 to 1650 °C is required, while the formation of green biomass up to the flowering stage requires 1000 to 1300 °C. The total growing season when cultivated for seeds ranges from 65 to 100 days, while for green biomass, economic maturity is reached in 30–35 days.

White mustard cultivars are divided into early-maturing (65–80 days) and late-maturing (90–100 days) relative to each other. When selecting a cultivar, it should be considered that mustard is a long-day plant that accelerates development when moving northward. The agrotechnical significance of maturity lies in preventing harvest losses due to the tendency of pods to shatter if left standing too long and the crop's suitability for short cycles in catch cropping.
