*According to: Source CTPS/GEVES

Recommended use to get the best biofumigation effect:

The foreskin is removed

The soil is prepared for sowing

Sown brown mustard (catch crop)

Cultivated until flowering

Biofumigation works best by incorporating chopped flowering plants into moist soil

The most optimal term is the beginning of flowering + 10 days; the longest - the beginning of flowering +20 days

After planting, a minimum of 10-15 days must pass before sowing the following plants

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended seeding rate: 100-120 plants/m², 10-12 kg/ha

Recommended seeding rate when growing green manure: 12-15 kg/ha
