Variety traits
Zea mays L.
Maize plant height is a key varietal trait measured from the soil surface to the tip of the tassel. It varies from 50 to 500 cm depending on genetics, maturity group, and cultivation conditions.
In the reference 39 varieties crop Maize, where this is mentioned in the description.
To assess plant height, measurements are taken using a measuring rod during the tassel emergence, silking, and milk stage phases. Final values are recorded before harvest by calculating the mean from measurements taken at no fewer than five points in the plot.
The height range correlates with the maturity group: ultra-early hybrids reach 60–200 cm, mid-season hybrids reach 200–350 cm, and late-maturing hybrids can exceed 350 cm. This indicator directly affects lodging resistance, harvesting efficiency, and the crop's ability to perform effective photosynthesis at a specific plant density.
