We have a new hybrid mustard called AAC Guard. it will not produce seeds as long as it's not near a flowering brassica crop.
It will cover the ground about 20% faster versus regular mustard meaning it could produce 20% more glucosinolates = better disease and nematode control. It is a brown mustard so that can be a host for the sys nematode that impacts sugar beets. By not producing seed AAC Guard hybrid brown mustard would be less of a contaminant risk as a cover crop option. Some people are doing a forage crop or hybrid fall rye crop so there is time to seed this after prior to a potato crop. Here is an article on it: https://spudsmart.com/mustard-21-is-bringing-back-mustard-for-biofumigation/
