Varietal precocity or date of sowing

Comments on sustainability

A plant with a shorter or earlier cycle (varietal precocity and / or sowing date) will be less exposed to stress. This is typically the strategy chosen in cultivation with barley or winter peas as opposed to spring varieties, or in grain corn with a very early sowing date.
