Questions & Answers
How does mustard yield versus canola?
In 2022, a trial was done at Outlook, SK where AAC Brown 18, AAC Yellow 80, and Liberty Link 233P were grown under irrigation. Yield results for all 3 varieties were comparable. See Condiment Mustard Development for more details.
What is the difference between AAC Brown 18 and AAC Yellow 80?
AAC Brown 18 is a hybrid variety of Brown mustard (Brassica juncea) and is brown seeded. AAC Yellow 80 is a composite variety of Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba) and is yellow seeded. Plant Breeders’ Rights has been granted for AAC Brown 18 and has been applied for in the case of AAC Yellow 80.
What is a composite variety? Why should I use a composite?
A composite variety is a mixture of two or more parents and naturally formed hybrids between those parents. In yellow mustard, individual plants cannot self-pollinate and must be pollinated by crossing with other plants. Thus, the seed produced by the composite mixture is the result of the cross-pollination among the mix of parents. Although not a hybrid, AAC Yellow 80 has increased yield and vigor compared to open-pollinated varieties.
What products can be used for weed control?
Growers can use:
- Authority for kochia control in all mustards
- Edge can be used in yellow mustard for broad leaf control
- Clethodim for grass control
- Muster Toss N Go in brown and oriental mustards

What Growers are saying:
Steve Neufeld – AAC Yellow 80
I farm 10 miles south of Swift Current and I grew Mustard 21’s yellow mustard variety AAC Yellow 80. I was very impressed with the way it came out of the ground and how it got ground cover so quickly. The AAC Yellow 80 kept up that pace and in mid July it was looking great and was starting to flower. I was very happy with the stand and as the year progressed, I knew I was going to be happy with the yields.
At harvest I was happy with the results and with the price of mustard I was happy with the return per acre. I would definitely grow the AAC Yellow 80 again and I would recommend it to other growers.
