Mustard green manures are being used in irrigated regions of Eastern Washington to improve soil quality, control wind erosion, and manage soil-borne pests. We have been conducting on-farm research since 1999 to determine the benefits of these crops and to improve their effectiveness. Below are links to the knowledge that we have gained through this work and that of other researchers and farmers.
