PROPAGATION / SOWING OF MUSTARD SEED: Germination temperature: 45 F to 85 F
- Will germinate at soil temperatures as low as 40 F. The mustard plant can be grown in sandy, loamy or clay soils with a pH
between 4.9 and 8.2 and prefers moist soil. The plant will tolerate
partial shade. Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Direct sow 1/4 to 1/2 in. deep in spring, summer, and early fall. Thin to 6-inch spacings for smaller
varieties, or up to 18 inches for large ones in rows 10–12 in. apart. Sow at 2 week intervals for continued harvest. Plant emergence in 4 to 7 days. Are some of the simplest leafy vegetable plants to grow as part of your backyard garden.

plants.
Common Problems :
Flea beetles: Younger plants are more susceptible to flea beetle damage than older ones; Small holes or pits in leaves that give the foliage a characteristic
“shothole” appearance; young plants and seedlings are particularly
susceptible; plant growth may be reduced; if damage is severe the plant
may be killed; the pest responsible for the damage is a small (1.5–3.0
mm) dark colored beetle which jumps when disturbed; the beetles are
often shiny in appearance.
Cabbage aphid: Are small, grey-green in color and soft bodied and are covered with a white waxy coating. Large populations can cause stunted growth or even plant death; insects may be visible on the plant leaves.
Downy mildew: Disease emergence favored by cool, moist conditions with irregular yellow patches on leaves which turn light brown in color with fluffy gray growth on the undersides of the leaves. Downy mildews are not fungi; they are in a different taxonomic group or kingdom which contains the water molds. In early infections this downy mildew disease can be mistaken for a
nutritional deficiency since mild yellowing of the leaves is the first
symptom to appear and because the spores are only visible on the lower
surfaces of the leaves; it can go unnoticed until it has already become
established and it is too late for control.
