Variety traits

Maturity group — common wheat

Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum

A biological trait that determines the duration of the growing season of common wheat. The classification is based on the "seedling to heading" interphase period, which is controlled by vernalization genes (Vrn), photoperiod sensitivity genes (Ppd), and earliness genes.

In the reference 34 varieties crop Bread wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

The maturity group of common wheat is determined not by the absolute duration of the vegetation period, but by the duration of the period up to heading, which is the most stable marker for variety testing. The evaluation of varieties is carried out in comparative field trials with the mandatory use of regional standards and the recording of development stages according to international scales such as BBCH or Zadoks.

Selecting a variety by maturity group allows for the adaptation of cultivation technology to climatic risks, such as early autumn frosts or moisture deficits. Late-maturing varieties potentially possess higher productivity due to a longer biomass accumulation period, but they require favorable conditions throughout the entire cycle. The use of varieties from different maturity groups in farming operations optimizes the workload for harvesting equipment and minimizes crop losses.
