Phenological Stage Monitoring/Evidence
Method evidence record

Phenological Stage Monitoring

Phenological stage monitoring uses standardized growth scales to track the developmental progression of plants from dormancy through flowering, fruit development, and maturity. The BBCH scale, formalized in 1997, provides a universal coding system for precise communication of developmental timing. This method enables optimization of management practices (pruning, fertilizing, spraying) at physiologically optimal moments and prediction of harvest timing.
