Variety traits
Triticum aestivum L. subsp. spelta (L.) Thell.
Plant height in spelt is an important morphological trait characterized by high values, which are traditionally considered in breeding to assess the crop's lodging resistance and productivity.
In the reference 23 varieties crop Spelt, where this is mentioned in the description.
For spelt, typical plant height ranges from 90 to 120 cm; however, when grown on highly fertile soils, this figure can increase up to 150 cm. Height is measured as the distance from the soil surface to the tip of the spike, excluding the awns, at full maturity or the flowering stage, when active stem growth is complete.
The tall habit of the crop often correlates with reduced lodging resistance, which becomes critical under excessive nitrogen nutrition. Breeding programs focus on selecting short-stemmed and semi-dwarf forms to improve lodging resistance and achieve an optimal balance between vegetative biomass and grain yield.
