Vineland Research and Innovation has produced a guide for growing mustard as a biofumigant cover crop in Ontario.
This production guide highlights the best practices for implementing AAC Guard Mustard as a biofumigant cover crop. Combining the benefits of cover cropping with the pest and disease control benefits of a biofumigant crop is an ideal and sustainable way to optimize crop production and improve soil health.
Site selection, planting practice and harvesting details for optimizing the biofumigation traits of AAC Guard are described and detailed herein. This comprehensive guide is supported by the findings collected during a field trial at the Vineland Research and Innovation Center’s research farm.
