Days till Plants have 1/2 of their Pods Mature; R7
The number of days after seeding that plants take for 50% of their pods to mature. In lentil, stage R7 refers to physiological maturity (Erskine, Muehlbauer, & Short, 1990). Mature pods are dry and ready to be harvested. Before the pods dry out, they typically lose their green pigmentation, often looking pale, but will still contain moisture. At this stage, lentil leaves and pods begin to turn yellow (Erskine, Muehlbauer, & Short, 1990). However, pod maturity is not always accompanied by a yellowing of the pod -some pods turn white, some are pigmented and may have patterns, CDC QG2 will remain green.
