How many times a year is mustard planted?

Mustard can be planted three times a year . According to the growth habits of mustard, it is planted in February in spring, July-August in summer, and September-October in autumn. However, it is recommended to plant mainly in autumn because the climate in autumn is relatively cool, which is conducive to the growth of mustard.

Mustard Planting Conditions

1. Temperature

Mustard has a strong ability to adapt to temperature. It can grow at a temperature of about 5 degrees, but the growth rate is relatively slow. The higher the temperature, the faster it grows. However, if the temperature is too high, the quality of mustard will be poor. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-25 degrees, the germination temperature is above 20 degrees, and the growth temperature of seedlings is above 15 degrees, which can make mustard grow well.

2. Lighting

Mustard greens need sunlight during their growth process. Sunlight is conducive to their growth. Good photosynthesis can maintain the growth of mustard greens and make them plump. However, too strong light can easily burn the mustard leaves.

Mustard harvest time

The harvest time of mustard is generally in spring and winter every year. Since the temperature is higher in spring, mustard can be harvested about a month after planting . The temperature is relatively low in autumn, and the mustard needs 2 months to grow to maturity, so it can generally be harvested in early winter.
