How much is the row spacing and plant spacing of mustard? Reasonable planting spacing and density are the key

Mustard planting spacing

Usually the spacing between mustard greens is about 40-50 cm or 30-35 cm, and the row spacing is about 50×55 cm . It is best to plant 4000-4500 mustard greens per acre , and about 6000-6500 early-maturing small-plant varieties can be planted.

Because most of the mustard is sown by broadcasting, the control of density is insufficient, so thinning and reseeding are necessary in the later stage. Usually, it is necessary to ensure that at least 4,000 plants are planted per mu, and the row spacing is 50-55 cm and the plant spacing is about 40-50 cm.

Yield of mustard per mu

The yield of mustard greens varies depending on the sowing time. Usually, the total yield of shepherd's purse sown in early autumn can reach about 2,500 to 3,000 kilograms per mu, while mustard greens sown in spring can be harvested 1 to 3 times, and the yield per mu can reach about 1,000 kilograms.

Mustard harvest time

1. Spring Harvest

The temperature begins to rise in spring, which is suitable for the growth of mustard. The mustard sown in spring can be harvested in just one month, but after sowing in early spring, it is necessary to keep warm appropriately. The temperature at this time is slightly low, and too low a temperature will affect the survival rate of mustard.

2. Winter Harvest

The temperature is lower in autumn, so the growth rate of mustard is slower. Mustard sown in autumn takes two months to mature and can only be harvested in winter.
