Variety traits

Vegetation period of potato

Solanum tuberosum L.

The number of days from planting or emergence to crop formation or haulm senescence, which determines the variety's maturity and cultivation strategy.

In the reference 295 varieties crop Potato, where this is mentioned in the description.

The vegetation period of potato is measured in days from the moment of full emergence or planting to physiological maturity. Depending on the duration of this cycle, varieties are divided into groups: ultra-early (35–50 days), early (50–65 days), mid-early (65–80 days), mid-season (80–95 days), mid-late (95–110 days), and late (from 110 days). The duration of development phases, such as tuberization and haulm senescence, directly depends on the variety and environmental conditions.

The choice of maturity group determines the potential yield and tuber quality, as a longer period promotes the accumulation of starch and dry matter. Early varieties allow for avoiding peak periods of disease spread, such as late blight (Phytophthora), and critical temperatures. At lower temperatures, the vegetation period may increase by 20 or more days, while premature or delayed harvesting significantly affects storability and the risk of tuber infection.
