Mustard

Brassica
(Sinapsis alba )

Mustard requires approximately 100 days to grow to its maximum which can be in excess of a metre tall. The tall aerial growth is normally pulverised before incorporation back into the soil. A very fast growing and early maturing brassica. Ideal summer cover that holds N.

Management

Not winterhardy or frost tolerant. Consideration needs to be given to companion specie due to its extremely competitive nature. Early sown crops can give a large bulk that needs to be incorporated.

Additional Info

One of fastest and cheapest options for providing a green manure. Can be a host and susceptible to clubroot so should be grown after a 5 year brassica break and where a subsequent break is possible.
