Variety traits
Brassica napus L.
The vegetation period of rapeseed is measured as the interval from full emergence to full seed maturity. Spring rapeseed requires a sum of active temperatures in the range of 1800–2100 °C for crop formation.
In the reference 66 varieties crop Rapeseed, where this is mentioned in the description.
The duration of the vegetation period for winter rapeseed is 280–320 days, including the winter dormancy period; early-maturing varieties ripen within 280 days, mid-maturing varieties within 280–310 days, and late-maturing varieties in more than 310 days. For spring rapeseed, this period varies from 80 to 120 days: less than 80 days for early-maturing, 90–110 days for mid-maturing, and more than 110 days for late-maturing varieties.
The choice of variety based on vegetation duration determines the possibilities for regional adaptation and risk management, as critical developmental phases, particularly flowering, which lasts up to four weeks, must be protected from extreme weather conditions. Knowledge of maturation timing allows the agronomist to plan time windows for fertilizer application, crop protection measures, and crop desiccation.
