Variety traits

Maturity group — crimson clover

Trifolium incarnatum L.

Classification of crimson clover varieties based on the duration of the period from emergence to flowering, measured in days or growing degree days (GDD), for planning harvest and use in seed mixtures.

In the reference 28 varieties crop Crimson clover, where this is mentioned in the description.

Maturity groups for crimson clover are determined by the number of days or growing degree days (GDD) from emergence to the onset of the flowering phase. In breeding practice, varieties are divided into early-maturing (70–79 days), medium-maturing (83–87 days), and late-maturing (92–94 days).

The choice of maturity group determines the management strategy for the crop: early-maturing forms are effective as green manure and for providing an early green feed supply, while late-maturing varieties allow for the synchronization of flowering times of components in seed mixtures and the staggering of harvest periods.

Precise knowledge of the maturity group is critical for managing forage quality, as crimson clover rapidly loses nutritional value and becomes coarse immediately after the onset of flowering, which necessitates planning mowing strictly within specific phenological phases.
