The seeding rate for white mustard is determined by the intended use of the crop, ranging from 5–10 kg/ha when grown for seed and 15–25 kg/ha when cultivated as a green manure.

crop White mustard,
where this is mentioned in the description.
For seed production, the seeding rate is set within the range of 5–10 kg/ha to achieve an optimal stand density of 90–110 plants per m². Using the crop as a green manure requires increasing the rate to 15–25 kg/ha, which is necessary to form a dense canopy capable of effectively suppressing weeds and accumulating maximum green biomass.
The calculation of the seeding rate for white mustard takes into account the high thousand-kernel weight (TKW), which is 5–6 g, significantly distinguishing it from brown mustard. Under conditions of limited moisture or late sowing dates, it is recommended to increase seeding rates to compensate for potentially low field emergence and to ensure rapid canopy closure.
