Black mustard is an important oilseed crop grown in India and worldwide. It is grown for its oil, which is used for cooking and industry, and its nutritious oil cake byproduct. Hybrid seed production uses cytoplasmic genetic male sterility systems. Flowers are cross-pollinated after emasculation. Seed must meet standards for purity, germination rates, and freedom from weeds and other crop seeds. Proper land preparation, seed treatment, spacing, fertilizer use, irrigation, weed control and rogueing are required for high yields.
