Dill plant height

Anethum graveolens L.

An important biometric parameter for dill that determines the developmental phase, harvesting time, and the quality of marketable greenery. Height is measured from the root collar to the top of the plant and serves as a key indicator of the crop's transition to the bolting phase.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Dill, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating dill, plant height is measured from the root collar to the tips of the upper leaves or the top of the plant. The optimal threshold for harvesting for marketable greenery is 20–30 cm. If these values are exceeded during growth, product quality declines due to the hardening of stems and the transition to umbel formation.

Height is closely related to the variety type: traditional umbellate varieties are characterized by rapid elongation and early bolting, whereas bush-type varieties have shortened internodes and maintain marketable height for longer. Mature plants in the flowering phase can reach 40–150 cm, and growth parameters are used to determine technological timelines for mechanized harvesting.
