Mustard Seed (lb)

Brassica spp Cool Season cover crop

Common Mustard (Brassica spp.) is a fast-growing cool-season cover crop ideal for loosening compacted or heavy soils. With a deep taproot system, it enhances water infiltration and breaks up hardpan layers. Reaching up to 4 feet tall, it germinates in 5–10 days and produces abundant biomass while attracting beneficial insects. Often used to improve soil tilth and organic matter levels, mustard also supports biological activity in the root zone. No inoculant is needed. Apply at 12–15 lb/acre or 0.5 lb/1,000 sq ft. Excellent for rotation in vegetable systems or as a soil builder in fall-planted cover crop blends.
