      Mustard

      Mustard is a rapidly growing annual that will help reduce nitrogen leaching and also suppress weeds.

      • Sowing rate: 8-10 kg/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
