Mustard Crop Alert: Protect from Frost, Pests & Disease for High Yields

• Light irrigation and smoke generation are effective measures to protect mustard from severe cold and frost.
• Spray sulfur liquid, thiourea, or a specific chemical mix (0.2% dimethyl sulfoxide + 0.1% thiourea + 0.1% sulfuric acid) to increase cold tolerance.
• Control 'Lahi' (aphid) pest using neem-based pesticides, Azadirachtin, or Diafenthiuron for severe infestations.
• Combat white mold by spraying Metalaxyl + Mancozeb and promptly removing infected plants from the field.
• Apply NPK 05:23:24 and Boron during flowering and pod formation for better yield; use mulching and avoid weeding during frost.

Why It Matters: Timely care, scientific methods, and pest/disease control are crucial for high mustard yields in cold weather.
