- White mustard is a fast-growing non-wintering cruciferous.
- It is grown as a honey plant, green manure and oil crop.
- Good suppressor of weeds.
- A very good catch crop, as it binds nutrients from deep soil layers, improves soil structure and, due to the content of glucosinolates, also inhibits the spread of soil pathogens.
- Good honey plant, honey productivity approx. 100kg/ha.
- Seeding rate 150-200g/100 m2.
- Seeding depth 2-2.5 cm.
The cultivation of catch crops has different purposes.
- Catch crops improve soil fertility, reduce nutrient leaching, prevent weeds from growing, improve soil structure, and reduce soil-borne diseases.
- When grown as green manure, catch crops add nutrients to the soil.
- Combined use is also possible – plants grown as a cover crop are introduced into the soil as a green fertilizer.
- Catch crops help to maintain soil health and reduce the spread of pests without chemical control.
How to grow catch crops
- If the main crop – strawberry, cabbage, potatoes or whatever plant you mainly grew – has borne fruit and been picked up, sow a catch crop.
- It is necessary to sow tightly so that a large biomass is formed.
- For better germination, sowing can be covered with a covering veil.
- The catch crop remains on the bed for the winter, he does not need to be picked up from the bed.
- Dig in the catch crop before sowing the next main crop or cover with compost or soil.
- This is how natural green fertilizer is formed from the catch crop.
- A wintering catch crop is dug in, which would begin to grow again in the spring.
