Widely used as intermediate plants for autumn sowing (for green fertilization)

White mustard can be grown for seeds that are used in the food industry. However, they can bring more benefits to agriculture. White mustard can be a supporting plant for growing peas or vetches. They are also very valuable for maintaining the phytosanitary condition of the soil (kills nematodes), plants grown after them (especially root crops) produce higher yields. As cover crops, white mustard produces a lot of green mass, which, when incorporated into the soil, improves its quality. The yield of green mass will depend on the soil, moisture and heat. The green mass should be plowed when it is the most, that is, during the flowering of the plants.
Likes good soils.
Suitable pre-seeds are potatoes fertilized with manure, clover, cereals, mixtures of bell peppers and legumes. Before sowing, the soil is plowed to a depth of 20-25 cm. It is possible to sow earlier in warm and dry soil. Fertilization is done with P 30-60 and K 60-100 vm kg/ha. Weeds are protected by weeding the rows a couple of times until the foliage covers the soil surface.

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended sowing rate for seed production: 12-17 kg/ha

Recommended sowing rate for green fertilizer: 20-25 kg/ha
