BBCH-scale (pea)




The BBCH-scale (pea) identifies the phenological development stages of the peas (Pisum sativum). It is a plant species specific version of the BBCH-scale.

A downloadable version [1] of the BBCH Scales, including illustrations, is available from the BBA [2] (Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry)

Phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of peas
Code Description
Principal growth stage 0: Germination
00 Dry seed
01 Beginning of seed imbibition
03 Seed imbibition complete
05 Radicle emerged from seed
07 Shoot breaking through seed coat
08 Shoot growing towards soil surface; hypocotyl arch visible
09 Emergence: shoot breaks through soil surface (“cracking stage”)
Principal growth stage 1: Leaf development
10 Pair of scale leaves visible
11 First true leaf (with stipules) unfolded or first tendril developed
12 2 leaves (with stipules) unfolded or 2 tendrils developed
13 3 leaves (with stipules) unfolded or 3 tendrils developed
1 . Stages continuous till . . .
19 9 or more leaves (with stipules) unfolded or 9 or more tendrils developed
Principal growth stage 3: Stem elongation (Main shoot)
30 Beginning of stem elongation
31 1 visibly extended internode1
32 2 visibly extended internodes1
33 3 visibly extended internodes1
3 . Stages continuous till . . .
39 9 or more visibly extended internodes1
Principal growth stage 5: Inflorescence emergence
51 First flower buds visible outside leaves
55 First separated flower buds visible outside leaves but still closed
59 First petals visible, flowers still closed
Principal growth stage 6: Flowering
60 First flowers open (sporadically within the population)
61 Beginning of flowering: 10% of flowers open
62 20% of flowers open
