CROP
DEVELOPMENT: Emerges 7 to 10 days after
planting. Well adapted to North Dakota. Flowering occurs 30 to
40 days after planting, and can occur for several weeks
depending upon temperatures. From 2 to 6 seeds can be found in a
given pod. Matures in 90 to 95 days. Typical plant height is
30" to 40".
SOILS:
Adapts well to many soils. Fertile, well drained soils are
usually best.
PLANTING
RATE: 10 to 14 lbs/acre.
PLANTING
DATE: mid-April to early May. Seedlings are
frost tolerant.
SEEDING
DEPTH: 0.5 to 1.5 inches
FERTILITY
REQUIREMENTS: 65 lbs. of N per 1000 lbs. of
yield. Similar to small grains in phosphorous use. Use of 10 to
15 lbs/acre of sulfur is highly suggested.
WEED
CONTROL: Treflan is labeled for weed
control.
CHEMICAL
CARRYOVER: Sensitive to carryover of
sulfonylureas (e. g. Glean, Ally), also sensitive to atrazine
and picloram (Tordon).
ROTATION:
Usually between small grains.
WATER USE:
Fairly drought tolerant. Rooting depth similar to small grains.
INSECTS:
Flea beetles (not near as serious as in canola - usually not
treated), cutworms.
DISEASES:
Sclerotinia (white mold), downy mildew, alternaria. Most are of
minor importance if sound rotation practices are followed.
HARVEST:
Straight combining is preferred. Harvest when crop is 100% ripe.
Green seeds do not change color, and result in grade discounts.
Harvest during cooler parts of the day to reduce shatter loss.
Storage moisture is 9%.
MARKETS:
Table (hot dog) mustard, used also as a binding agent in
processed meats.
TYPICAL
YIELDS: 1000 to 1500 lbs/acre.
