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:

393093090The maximum length and thickness of the pseudostem are reached according to the genome or clone and the

formation of new leaves of normal size has been terminated

4058Development of the 8th leaf of c. 10 cm width
4059Development of the 9th or more leaves of c. 10 cm width
494094090End 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)
5: Emergence of inflorescence 505005000The development of new normal leaves has been terminated and the flower bract emergence
515015010Flower bract at candela stage 2
525025020Flower bract at candela stage 4
535035030Flower bract at candela stage 6
545045040Flower bract at candela stage 8
555055050Flower bract completely open
595095090Emergence of the last bract leaf or first sterile bract protecting the flower
6: Flowering 606006000The stage begins with the emergence of the flower protected by the last bract leaf (1st sterile bract)
616016010A bract which does not protect any hand of flowers rises (2nd sterile bract) and the rachis or flower stalk takes a pendulum position
626026020The bract rises which protects the first hand of female or pistillate flowers
636036030The bract rises which protects the second hand of female or pistillate flowers
646046040The bract rises which protects the third hand of female or pistillate flowers
656056050Full bloom: at least 50% of the hands of females flowers are developed
696096090The 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 707007000At least 50% of the fingers show an upwards curvature and the fruits (fingers) begin to fill
717017010Total exposure of the fingers or female flowers (protective bracts fallen off or bent and withered above

the hands)

727027020The fingers of the hands show the characteristic curvature of the fruit (upwards and almost parallel to the

axis or rachis)

737037030From the first two hands up to 30% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
747047040Up to 40% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
757057050Up to 50% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
767067060Up to 60% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
777077070Up to 70% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
787087080Up to 80% of the hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit
797097090All hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit and no hand shows a loss of weight
8: Ripening of the fruit 808008000Ripening 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
818018010Degree of maturity 1: green. Normal colour of the fresh fruit
828028020Degree of maturity 2: tinge of yellow. First modification of colour during the ripening cycle
838038030Degree of maturity 3: more green than yellow
848048040Degree of maturity 4: more yellow than green
858058050Degree of maturity 5: tinge of green
868068060Degree of maturity 6: all yellow
878078070Degree of maturity 7: yellow with brown specks. Fruit is completely ripe, has the best flavour and a high nutritive value
888088080Degree of maturity 8: 20–50% of surface discoloured brown or spoiled
898098090Degree of maturity 9: More than 50% of the surface of the fruits is discoloured brown and spoiled
Principal stage 9: Senescence and death 909009000More than 50% of the surface of the fruits are discoloured brown
919019010The leaves the plant shows have died off acropetally and the male flowers have withered, are necrotic and/or have fallen off
939039030Total rot and necrosis of the fruits
959059050Degeneration (necrosis) of the flower
979079070The sheaths enclosed in the pseudostem become brittle which indicates the beginning of necrosis of the

pseudostem. The pseudostem turns to be brown

989089080Total 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
