Growth stages
- Initial: about 15 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted May, Europe)
- Crop development: about 25 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted May, Europe)
- Mid-season: about 35 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted May, Europe)
- Late season: about 15 days (FAO 56 Table 11: planted May, Europe)
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.
