Mustard Agronomy

• Avoid canola rotations - at a minimum make sure your field is 5 years out of canola.
• Pick clean fields. In crop herbicide options are limited so broadleaf weeds are a challenge.
• Use a premium seed treatment - flea beetles like early seeded brassicas (we have Fortenza Advanced and Buteo Start available but it needs to be booked very early)
• Book seed early - last season we ran out of hybrids, booking early gives more choices such as bag size and treatment choice. 
• How to choose your type:
  • Brown and Oriental yield more vs Yellow - but Yellow is often priced higher
  • Yellow may be possible to colour sort if there is canola in it. (Don't risk that though!)
  • Brown and Oriental mustard may be more straight cut suited - but we have straight cut yellow also.
• Kochia is a concern in mustard - Authority is registered ahead of yellow mustard. We have done Edge ahead of yellow also & Authority+Glyphosate pre-crop and then just group 1 grassy products in crop.
• Check your crop insurance numbers (even last seasons) to see what you are covered for. The net returns, found below for mustard, show it to be profitable.
• Watch for group 2 residual in the soil, it can be best to follow a cereal.
