Description
The Mustard Seed Powder is obtained from Sinapis alba (Brassica alba), Brassica juncea, and Brassica nigra. It has been approved as a Basic Substance by the Technical Institute for Organic Agriculture (ITAB) and the European Commission.
The Mustard Seed Powder has a light yellowish color, odorless, with a sharp and slightly pungent taste. Application tests of Mustard Seed Powder have shown high effectiveness against fungi, nematodes, click beetles, weeds, and other pests.
It can be directly applied to the soil as a substitute for methyl bromide fumigation.
It controls the proliferation of fungi such as Wheat Bunt (Tilletia caries and Tilletia foetida) and can be dispersed in water for seed treatment before sowing (a single application is sufficient) from summer to autumn.
For seed treatment, it is recommended to mix 1.5 kg of Mustard Seed Powder with 4.5 L of water. The resulting mixture is sufficient for treating 100 kg of seeds.
