Variety traits

Maturity group — durum wheat

Triticum durum Desf.

Classification of varieties based on the duration of the vegetative period from emergence to full maturity, which determines the strategy for crop adaptation to climatic conditions and cultivation risks.

In the reference 298 varieties crop Durum wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

The maturity group is determined during state variety trials by recording the dates of reaching key phenological stages. Categorization into early-maturing, mid-early, mid-maturing, mid-late, and late-maturing varieties is relative and depends on the growing degree days (GDD), moisture availability, and the photoperiodic response of a specific region.

The selection of a maturity group influences yield formation and grain quality, including its vitreousness and protein content. Early-maturing varieties allow the crop to escape drought during critical developmental stages, while late-maturing varieties have the potential for higher yields under favorable conditions due to an extended grain-filling period, but they carry the risks of autumn rains and pre-harvest sprouting in the ear.
