(1) For the cultivation of mustard, farmers should sow mustard keeping in view the optimum temperature (15-20 degree celcius). Do not delay the sowing of mustard for too long.
(2) Soil testing: In case of deficiency of sulfur, apply 20 kg/ha on the last tillage. Apply 15-20 tonnes of FYM or compost at the time of field preparation along with 60-90kg nitrogen, 60 kg P2O5 and 40 kg K2O per hectare. Split application of nitrogen has been found useful for rape and mustard crops. Also, ensure that the soil has proper moisture before sowing.
(3) Before sowing, seeds should be treated with Captan 2.5 grams per kg. Also sowing in rows will prove to be more beneficial for healthier yields.
(4) Spacing: Plant to plant distance should be 12-15 cm. With scientific techniques, farmers can cultivate mustard and get plentiful harvests.
