Mustard Flowering: Dr. Avneesh Kumar Mishra's Tips for Bumper Yield

• When mustard plants flower, ensure light irrigation to prevent flower drop, avoiding waterlogging.
• Apply essential micronutrients like sulfur and boron, either through soil or foliar spray, for better flower and pod development.
• Monitor for pests like aphids and stem borers; use appropriate pesticides judiciously if infestation occurs.
• Protect the crop from extreme weather conditions like strong cold winds, frost, or high temperatures, as these can cause flower shedding.
• Control weeds during the flowering stage to ensure the mustard plants receive adequate nutrition.
