Increase soil quality and organic matter with Martigena White Mustard!

White mustard contains glucosinolate which produces isothiocyanate when the plant is chopped and incorporated into the soil. Isothiocyanate acts as a strong biofumigant, killing crop-destroying nematodes and reducing the viability of weed seeds in the soil. Mustard is also commonly used as a green manure to improve overall soil quality by increasing organic matter, nutrient holding capacity and water infiltration.

- Plant in mid-summer through late-summer.

- Broadcast the seed and cover it with 0.5" of soil.

- Sow 1 lb. per 4,000 sq. ft.

To take advantage of mustards biofumigant qualities follow these simple steps:

  1. Seed crop mid to late summer. This will allow the plant to reach its full growth before flowering.

  2. When the crop is in full flower mow/chop the plant material.

  3. Immediately after mowing/chopping incorporate plant material into the top 6" of soil with a disk. *Note* It is important to incorporate the plant material within a few hours of mowing to receive all biofumigant benefits.
