Maturity stages around harvest (MS1: Zadoks code 83; MS2: code 87; MS3: code 91).

Values with different superscripts within a column are significantly (P < 0.05) different.

RMSE, Root mean square error; IVGP, cumulative in vitro gas production after 72 h (mL g⁻¹ OM); A ₁, A ₂, asymptotic gas production (mL g⁻¹ OM) phase 1 and 2, respectively; B ₂, half time to the maximum gas production of phase 2 (h); C ₂, parameters determine the curvature of the graph; t _Rm2, time of the maximum fractional rate of substrate degradation (h); R _m2, maximum fractional rate of substrate degradation (h⁻¹).
