Just this past week planted all my gardens with Florida Broadleaf Mustard to try and control the nemetodes.
Good to hear. Would love to see a video when you till it in the soil.
Id love an update on how this worked for you
@@euncieives5738 we will not know till next year's garden is growing. We do have videos on this subject.
I had those knots really bad on a lot of my potatoes this past spring. I suspected it was insects but could not find any information that showed those knots I was seeing on my potatoes. Now I know how to at least do some damage to those bugs. thanks Travis, that is helpful for us.
Jeff Crane you’re welcome.
Thank you that is easy enough!!
Very surprising!!
Easy peasy! I've got red giant mustard seeds; I bet a big dense patch of it would be pretty striking. I'll give this a try.
I heard the reason this works is because mustard leaves have a lot of chitin. With all these hydroponics shops popping up on every corner, insect frass is pretty easy to come by. Do you suppose tilling some of that in would get it working right away, rather than waiting for a mustard crop to grow and then break down?
Thanks so much for your input!
Does insect frass contain glucosinolates? That's the compound in the mustard that does the nematode suppression in the soil.
Chitin is found in the exoskeleton of crustaceans and some insects, as well as found in some fungi. .. If you dig deep enough on this topic you will discover a genetically modified form of Mustard initially grown in China to resist fungal issues in it's tuberous roots for which it is grown for.
Hoss Tools should do a collaboration with Matt Powers or take his Soil Regenerate course to learn an abundance of information.
I second that motion!!
Thank you for the info. After you've tilled the mustard back in the soil, how long do you have to wait before you can plant in the patch again?
wait 7-14 days
Would you happen to know if any type of mustard works? I've got a bunch of wasabi leaf seeds and I'm pretty sure it's actually a type of mustard.

Will other plants from the brassicas work as well? Like arugula?
Oh yeah!
That is good news, as I love arugula... not so fond of mustard!
Would biofumigation work for other in soil parasites and diseases? For example I have had a problem with tobacco wilt on my bell peppers even though I have them on a three year rotation. Would a couple subsequent crops of mustards cut into the soil relieve this as well?
It's been noted to work on fusarium, verticillium, and other soil-borne diseases. Tobacco spotted wilt virus, however, is transmitted via thrips. So it's not a soil-borne disease and the biofumigation wouldn't help. Try growing hybrid varieties that are resistant to the wilt virus. That's what we have to do with tomatoes.
There are a whole slew of good guy parasitic nematodes! I am wondering if there is a good guy parasitic nematode for root knot nematode issues?? Will the mustard treatment kill off or slow down the good guy Sf nematodes I just watered in??
We have found this to be one of our best options. It does not seem to hurt the good ones.
And here I have been adding nematodes to help control leather jacket and chafer beetle grubs!
Darn advertising!
There are beneficial nematodes and parasitic nematodes. We need the beneficial ones, but need to eliminate the parasitic ones.
Your parasitic nematodes may be beneficial nematodes for your situation. There are a whole slew of good guy parasitic nematodes! I am wondering if there is a good guy parasitic nematode for root knot nematode issues?? Will the mustard treatment kill off or slow down the good guy Sf nematodes I just watered in??
What else can you do, or plant?
Black oil sunflowers as a cover crop
Ok so we have to wait how many months for this mustard to grow before we can cut up the leaves to use on nematodea. So effectively the populations r only going to multiply that much more while waiting? No? What am I missing?
Average 45 days to maturity.
Great video, nice stuff! We just dropped a rap explaining nematodes and nematology 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
