PHENOLOGICAL GROWTH-STAGES OF THE PEANUT PLANT (ARACHIS-HYPOGAEA L.) - CODIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO THE BBCH SCALE

Following the introduction of the general BBCH scale, the specific BBC H scale for the peanut plant is presented providing crop-specific desc riptions and detailed assessment instructions. The phenological develo pment process of the peanut plant is described by periods (principal g rowth stages) and steps (secondary growth stages). A 2-digit decimal c ode suitable for data processing in crop production experiments is ass igned to each developmental step.
