Santa Maria Seeds, a leading dealer headquartered in Santa Maria, California, presents:

Brassica blend as biofumigant

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Brassicas act as a natural biofumigant and can help to control problems such as nematodes, sclerotinia, and excessive weeds by breaking down glucosinolates into isothiocyanates (ITC).

ITC levels are typically higher in the roots than in the tops of the plant. With this in mind, Santa Maria Seeds has developed a blend of brassicas that offers greater root mass than a standard mustard crop.

This “BEAUT BRASSICA BLEND” is also later maturing than most mustards, allowing more time for re-entry and possibly avoiding seeding before incorporation. It has proven to be extremely beneficial as a rotation crop when other brassicas are not present.
