Plant height — Triticum monococcum L.

Triticum monococcum L.

Plant height in einkorn wheat is an important morphological trait characterized by significant genetic variability, ranging from 70 to 110 cm with an average value of 94–105 cm.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Einkorn wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

Triticum monococcum L. typically exhibits height values ranging from 70–80 cm in relatively short specimens to over 100–110 cm. The mean values for the trait are generally 94–105 cm; however, the species does not have fixed height standards and is evaluated relative to control samples.

This trait shows a weak response to nitrogen fertilizer application, which distinguishes the crop from common wheat and contributes to maintaining resistance to lodging. Plant height is significantly correlated with total biomass and can vary depending on the sowing season, which impacts yield and the volume of straw produced.
