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)
• 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.
  • Yellow is resistant to cabbage seed pod weevils due to its hairy attributes.
• Kochia is a concern in mustard
  • Authority is registered ahead of all mustard.
  • Edge is registered ahead of yellow also
  • Group 1 grassy products in crop can also be used.
• Check your crop insurance numbers (even last seasons) to see what you are                     covered for as it can make your mustard crop lower risk.
• Watch for group 2 residual in the soil, it can be best to follow a cereal.
• Buteo Start is available on all types of mustard for flea beetles & cutworm protection
