BBCH-scale (Musaceae)

In biology, the BBCH-scale for musaceae describes the phenological development of musaceae using the BBCH-scale.

	79	709	7090	All hands have reached the maximum thickness of the fruit and no hand shows a loss of weight
8: Ripening of the fruit	80	800	8000	Ripening 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
	81	801	8010	Degree of maturity 1: green. Normal colour of the fresh fruit
	82	802	8020	Degree of maturity 2: tinge of yellow. First modification of colour during the ripening cycle

	87	807	8070	Degree of maturity 7: yellow with brown specks. Fruit is completely ripe, has the best flavour and a high nutritive value
	88	808	8080	Degree of maturity 8: 20–50% of surface discoloured brown or spoiled
	89	809	8090	Degree of maturity 9: More than 50% of the surface of the fruits is discoloured brown and spoiled
Principal stage 9: Senescence and death	90	900	9000	More than 50% of the surface of the fruits are discoloured brown
	91	901	9010	The leaves the plant shows have died off acropetally and the male flowers have withered, are necrotic and/or have fallen off
	93	903	9030	Total rot and necrosis of the fruits
	95	905	9050	Degeneration (necrosis) of the flower
	97	907	9070	The sheaths enclosed in the pseudostem become brittle which indicates the beginning of necrosis of the pseudostem. The pseudostem turns to be brown

Harvested product
post-harvest or storage treatments take place at stage 99, 909 or 9090
