Mustard cover crops must remain in place until after 1 January.
White or brown mustard is available.

Ask an expert

Please ask a Germinal expert if you would like any grass and forage production advice.

Sowing rate: white – 15kg/ha; brown – 7kg/ha

Sowing time: Sow from mid-July up until 15 September if sowing for ACRES

Frost tolerance: Low, but this helps in its incorporation as it will be largely diminished over the winter

Biomass: Good

Pests & diseases: Generally not a problem, but clubroot could become an issue if brassicas are used as a cover crop over a period of years
