Keep these things in mind while sowing mustard

  • The best time for sowing mustard is between the 5th and 25th of October.

  • Sowing mustard at this time gives good production, hence farmers should sow mustard by 25th October.

  • Farmers should use 1 kg of seeds in one acre of field for sowing mustard.

  • Mustard should be sown in rows so that weeding is easy.

  • Mustard should be sown with a local plough or seed drill.

  • In this, the distance from row to row should be kept at 30 cm and the distance from plant to plant should be held at 10-12 cm.

  • While sowing mustard, keep in mind that the seeds are planted at a depth of 2-3 cm.

  • Seeds should not be sown at a depth greater than 100 cm because sowing seeds at greater depth has an adverse effect on seed germination.
