Where it is recorded

Taxonomy record sources: GBIF (CC BY 4.0), USDA_PLANTS_CATALOG (Public Domain). Loaded from the botanica open cultivated-plant knowledge base and the GBIF backbone; each row keeps its origin.

Growth stages

  • Initial: about 20 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted Feb/Mar, Calif., Mediterranean)
  • Crop development: about 30 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted Feb/Mar, Calif., Mediterranean)
  • Mid-season: about 30 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted Feb/Mar, Calif., Mediterranean)
  • Late season: about 10 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted Feb/Mar, Calif., Mediterranean)

What the sources say it wants

Each line shows the band, then the kind of source and the citation. "Published" means the number is printed on the cited page; "derived" means it was computed from published numbers with the formula recorded on the row; "external API" rows are refreshed nightly from a live source; "curated" rows are OAT's own working values from June 2026.

Cultivar groups with their own numbers

The species row above carries the species-level bands. These groups differ enough in the sources that they keep their own rows.

Keystone status

Partial. The KEEP rule asks for a growth stage and a band in each of light, air and root zone before a crop counts as complete; this plant is in the keystone with what its sources give so far.

Generated 2026-09-15 from the OAT plant keystone. Source types and citations are carried on every row; the keystone snapshot that the Library instruments read is plant-targets.json and its quality sheet is plant-targets.quality.json.
