Recommended use for the best biofumigation effect:

• The pre-crop is harvested
• The soil is prepared for sowing
• Sowing brown mustard (as catch crop)
• Cultivated until flowering
• Biofumigation goes best by incorporating chopped flowering plants into moist soil
• The most optimal term is the beginning of flowering + 10 days; the latest – the beginning of flowering + 20 days
• After mustard incorporation, at least 10-15 days must pass before sowing the next crop
