Harvest maturity is the stage of growth in which the plant has completed its physiological development, or when it has developed enough to provide a useful product to the farmer. Corn (maize) is an example of both -- sweet corn is usually harvested for human consumption before it has reached complete physiological development, while field corn (for livestock feed) is usually allowed to reach full development and senescence.
