crop Buckwheat,
where this is mentioned in the description.
The duration of the vegetation period of common buckwheat is calculated from the appearance of full emergence to the onset of the harvest maturity phase. Based on the duration of this process, crop varieties are divided into early-maturing (60–70 days), mid-maturing (70–96 days), and late-maturing (90–100 days or more), which allows for optimizing harvest schedules on the farm.
Crop development is influenced by external factors: an excess of nitrogen fertilizers provokes excessive biomass growth and delays ripening, while drought can both retard development and stimulate secondary fruiting. Being a short-day plant, buckwheat accelerates the pace of ontogenesis stages when the photoperiod is shortened.
