Variety traits

Maturity group — common vetch

Vicia sativa L.

Classification of common vetch varieties based on the duration of the growing period from sowing to seed maturity, which determines harvest timing and the intended use of the crop.

In the reference 57 varieties crop Common vetch, where this is mentioned in the description.

Common vetch varieties are categorized into early-maturing with a growing period of 75–90 days, mid-season (110–120 days), and late-maturing, which ripen up to 140 days. The assessment of this trait is based on the number of days from sowing to the onset of flowering (40–60 days), cutting maturity (55–70 days), and full grain maturity.

The choice of maturity group determines the cultivation strategy within the green forage conveyor and allows for adaptation of the crop to regional cumulative active temperatures. Differences in maturation timing are critical for planning desiccation and direct combining, given the tendency of vetch to lodge and the uneven ripening of pods.
