AAC Guard was developed by AAFC and Mustard 21 for the biofumigation and cover crop market.
The Benefits of AAC Guard:
- Suppression of many nematodes
- Suppression of some soil-borne diseases like verticillium
- Improved soil health
- Quick ground cover
- Hybrid seed
AAC Guard produces 20% more biomass than open-pollinated brown mustard varieties which increases the level of glucosinolates in the plant and increases the disease and nematode control.
AAC Guard provides quick ground cover which is important for biofumigation and cover crops.
AAC Guard Guarantee:
- Certified seed
- Plant Variety Protection Certification in Progress
- Non GMO
Packaging: AAC Guard comes in 22.7KG (50lb) bags OR 454KG (1,000lb) totes
Seeding depth: ¼ inch to ¾ inch
Days to bloom: 42 days

Why AAC Guard?
AAC Guard was developed by AAFC and Mustard 21 for the biofumigation and cover crop market. Growers were looking for a solution for the biofumigant and cover crop market that doesn’t set seed so they could avoid volunteer seed germination from the mustard. Growers were also looking for higher amounts of vegetation so that there was more activity on diseases like verticillium and nematodes.

Glucosinolates
Mustard 21 measured the total vegetative glucosinolates at early bloom of Centennial brown and AAC Guard and as you can see the AAC Guard had a much higher level and again due to the increased biomass.
Bloom timing
The time for blooming for AAC Guard and Centennial Brown are very similar.
