- Observation Anthesis to 95% maximum grain dry weight ranged from 31 to 36 days by cultivar.
- Observation Anthesis to physiological maturity ranged from 38 to 43 days by cultivar.
- Observation The 95% grain weight time preceded physiological maturity by about seven days.
- Association Complete loss of green glume colour occurred close to physiological maturity.
- Association Complete loss of flag leaf green colour coincided most consistently with 95% maximum grain weight.
