where this is mentioned in the description.
The duration of the vegetation period of faba bean is a key biological trait that classifies varieties into early-maturing (up to 100 days), mid-maturing (about 130 days), and late-maturing (up to 145 days). In extreme climatic conditions, the range can expand from 3 to 11 months.
This indicator is unstable and depends on the temperature regime and moisture availability: at high temperatures and moisture deficit, the vegetation period shortens to 85–90 days, while in cool and wet weather it extends, which must be taken into account when planning harvest dates and selecting varieties for a specific region.
