About this item

• HEIGHT, BLOOM, & GROWING ENVIRONMENT: Our white mustard grows 24 – 36 inches tall with yellow blooms from early to late summer. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is suited for USDA Zones 4 – 7. It prefers loam to heavy soils with a pH range of 5 – 8, adapting well to a variety of soil types and environments for different gardening and farming needs.
• HIGH PROTEIN FORAGE: This variety of our mustard seed for planting is a high-protein forage crop, providing a nutrient-rich option for livestock feed. Its high protein content supports animal health, offering farmers a valuable resource for livestock nutrition. Additionally, it contributes to soil health, benefiting both crops and animals on the farm.
• DEEP ROOT SYSTEM: The deep tap root of our Nemagon mustard grows up to three feet deep, which helps break up compacted soil and improve soil structure. It scavenges nutrients that may have leached past the root zone of other crops, enhancing nutrient availability and improving soil tilth. This deep rooting system also helps with water retention and soil aeration.
• IDEAL FOR COVER CROP & CROP ROTATIONS: White Mustard Seed is a practical option for cover crops, promoting crop rotations by replenishing essential soil nutrients. It also helps suppress harmful soil organisms that can affect plant growth.
• PLANTING & GERMINATION TIPS: When planting seeds, sow at a rate of 10 – 12 lbs per acre, ensuring proper spacing for healthy growth and air circulation. Plant seeds at a depth of 1/2 – 3/4 inch for even germination. Maintain soil moisture until seeds sprout, and provide a germination temperature of 72°F. This helps sprout seeds effectively and supports strong seedling growth.
