The height of white mustard varies from 25 to 124 cm and is a key trait for evaluating varietal suitability for mechanized harvesting. This indicator determines the efficiency of combining and the crop's ability to suppress weed vegetation.

where this is mentioned in the description.
The plant height of white mustard varies over a wide range; for most modern varieties, values range from 80 to 124 cm, although shorter forms starting from 25 cm also occur. Classification of a variety as short-, medium-, or tall-stemmed in breeding is conducted relative to the standard adopted in the trial.
When evaluating crop processability, the attachment level of the lower branches is recorded alongside total height, which is critical for minimizing losses when adjusting the combine header. From an agronomic perspective, this parameter also characterizes the ability of the crop to compete with weeds and the potential volume of organic matter accumulation when using mustard as a green manure.
