• Lakhimpur Kheri farmers cultivate mustard on a large scale, especially yellow mustard, due to high yield and strong market demand.
• Mustard oil's health benefits make its cultivation economically important for farmers.
• Harvesting has begun in some areas as the crop is fully ripened; caution is crucial to prevent yield loss.
• Agricultural scientist Dr. Pradeep Bisen advises harvesting when 80% of the crop is ripe, around 100 days after sowing.
