Variety traits

Wheat maturity group

Triticum L.

The wheat maturity group is a qualitative characteristic of the variety's growing season duration, which determines its ability to complete its development cycle before the onset of unfavorable environmental factors.

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

Unlike a number of other crops, there is no standardized numerical classification of maturity groups for wheat. The classification of varieties into early-maturing, mid-maturing, and late-maturing is based on the total number of days from seedling emergence to the onset of full grain maturity.

The most important breeding marker for differentiating varieties by maturity groups is the heading date. To accurately track the development dynamics of crops during variety testing, the international BBCH scale phases are used, which record the plant's transition through milk, dough, and full maturity stages.
