Variety traits
Maturity Group — Popcorn
Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Popcorn Group)
Classification of hybrids based on the requirement for growing degree days (GDD) to reach maturity, which determines quality potential and grain expansion.
In the reference 50 varieties crop Popcorn, where this is mentioned in the description.
The maturity group for popcorn is defined by a hybrid's ability to reach physiological maturity, characterized by the formation of a black layer at the base of the kernel. The assessment is based on the FAO number and the sum of active temperatures: early-maturing forms require approximately 2200°C, while mid- and late-maturing forms require 2600–2800°C and above. Choosing the correct group is critical to ensuring proper endosperm vitreousness.
Unlike common corn, for this crop, the maturity group serves as a tool for managing the quality of the final product. Selecting the right hybrid for the climatic conditions of the growing zone is necessary to ensure optimal moisture at harvest without artificial drying, which can damage the endosperm structure and negatively affect the kernel expansion ratio upon heating.
