As fellow farmers, we believe you deserve facts, not fiction.
Mighty Mustard® is grown by our 100-year-old farmers’ cooperative based in the Palouse region of the Pacific Northwest. When you buy from us, you’re guaranteed full transparency from our fields to yours, and the scientific data you need to make the right cover crop choice for your farm.
How Mighty Mustard® biofumigation works
Mighty Mustard® contains high levels of potent glucosinolates (GSLs), the biotoxic compounds that make mustard spicy and act as natural fumigants.
Chopping Mighty Mustard® breaks the plant cell walls, releasing GSLs into the soil. Adding water to the chopped mustard allows the myrosinase enzyme to trigger the glucosinolates to release natural chemical compounds called isothiocyanates (ITCs).
At high concentrations, ITCs behave similarly to commercial pesticides and herbicides. Trusted by potato growers for 20 years, Mighty Mustard® is proven to contain high concentrations of the GSLs and ITCs necessary to suppress diseases and target nematodes.
