BBCH Growth Stage Keys


The BBCH Growth Stage Keys provide a standard and uniform description of the clearly visible growth stages of plants. Keys have been prepared for many important crops, such as cereals, rice, maize, rape, potato, fruit trees, small fruits, vegetables, etc. In 1997, they were recommended by the EPPO Working Party on Plant Protection Products and by Council for use in EPPO countries. They thus replace the previously recommended EPPO Growth Stage Keys. The BBCH Growth Stage Keys are available in two different forms:

1) As BBCH Monograph, published by Blackwell, in four languages (English, Spanish, French and German) combined in one volume. The price of one book is GBP 50.
