BBCH-scale (Musaceae)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In biology, the BBCH-scale for musaceae describes the phenological development of musaceae using the BBCH-scale.

The phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of musaceae are:

cultures or of the foliar shoot of the corn

49 409 4090 End of this phase is reached with the development of the first leaf with characteristics of the genome or clone (length width ratio, leaf surface index). Beginning of synchronised development of "normal" leaves (FM)

69 609 6090 The bracts which protect the hands wither and fall off and the fingers are bent into a direction perpendicular to the rachis
7: Development of the fruit 70 700 7000 At least 50% of the fingers show an upwards curvature and the fruits (fingers) begin to fill
71 701 7010 Total exposure of the fingers or female flowers (protective bracts fallen off or bent and withered above

the hands)

72 702 7020 The fingers of the hands show the characteristic curvature of the fruit (upwards and almost parallel to the

axis or rachis)

73 703 7030 From the first two hands up to 30% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
74 704 7040 Up to 40% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit

78 708 7080 Up to 80% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
79 709 7090 All hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit and no hand shows a loss of weight
8: Ripening of the fruit 80 800 8000 Ripening starts when the fruit has reached the maximum thickness, begins to lose weight and shows changes of the colour by which the degrees of maturity are defined
81 801 8010 Degree of maturity 1: green. Normal colour of the fresh fruit
82 802 8020 Degree of maturity 2: tinge of yellow. First modification of colour during the ripening cycle
83 803 8030 Degree of maturity 3: more green than yellow
84 804 8040 Degree of maturity 4: more yellow than green
85 805 8050 Degree of maturity 5: tinge of green
86 806 8060 Degree of maturity 6: all yellow
87 807 8070 Degree of maturity 7: yellow with brown specks. Fruit is completely ripe, has the best flavour and a high nutritive value
88 808 8080 Degree of maturity 8: 20–50% of surface discoloured brown or spoiled
89 809 8090 Degree of maturity 9: More than 50% of the surface of the fruits is discoloured brown and spoiled
Principal stage 9: Senescence and death 90 900 9000 More than 50% of the surface of the fruits are discoloured brown
91 901 9010 The leaves the plant shows have died off acropetally and the male flowers have withered, are necrotic and/or have fallen off
93 903 9030 Total rot and necrosis of the fruits
95 905 9050 Degeneration (necrosis) of the flower
97 907 9070 The sheaths enclosed in the pseudostem become brittle which indicates the beginning of necrosis of the

pseudostem. The pseudostem turns to be brown

98 908 9080 Total decomposition of the tissues and fall down of the pseudostem
  • Harvested product
  • post-harvest or storage treatments take place at stage 99, 909 or 9090
