Brown mustard
Brassica juncea
Brown mustard is an annual cruciferous herb. It is a fast-growing catch crop with high stability, medium to low inclination to flower, and effective suppression of weed and volunteer cereals. Its high vulnerability to frost means it is reliably winterkilled. In addition, brown mustard has a deep-reaching root system for an improved soil structure. It also provides effective erosion control thanks to fast ground cover and can be used in the phytoremediation of lead-contaminated soil.
