Mustard Cover Crop Seeds

Sowing mustard cover crop seeds can be extremely beneficial for your land, particularly when it comes to improving soil structure. Planting mustard seeds can be essential for maintaining good soil health in the long term, so it’s definitely worth considering purchasing mustard seeds as part of your seed supply.

Whether your priority is weed suppression, frost resistance or controlling the moisture of your soil, our range of mustard seeds will have you covered. 

Choosing the right mustard cover crop seed

Although mustard seeds generally provide many benefits for soil, it can be useful to differentiate between the characteristics of individual mustard seed types. Here at Smart Seeds, we stock the two most commonly used types of mustard seed.

• Brown mustard seeds - brown mustard cover crop seeds are incredibly winter hardy, which means that they are quite resistant to winter frost. This cover crop seed will therefore protect your land from winter frostiness. Our brown mustard cover crop seeds are also excellent weed suppressants, and help improve soil organic matter. Brown mustard cover crops possess extremely strong root development which helps to hydrate soil by pumping water through it.
• White mustard seeds - white mustard cover crop seeds also boast similar benefits to brown mustard cover crop seeds with their ability to improve soil organic matter. White mustard seeds are predominantly known for their extensive root development which protects soil from erosion, and are ideal as early game cover or a green manure crop.

In summary, both brown and white mustard cover crop seeds are highly beneficial for ensuring that your soil stays in good health. If frost protection is your priority, we would always recommend brown mustard seeds. However, if you’re looking for an early game cover crop, white mustard seeds would be a good choice.
