The World Wheat Mustard Plants and Soil Depths
Mustard plants are persistent weeds with deep roots that outcompete wheat for moisture. A good summer fallow helps germinate topsoil seeds so they can be destroyed, but seeds buried deeper remain viable until the land is plowed again. Two summer fallows are needed to eliminate mustard seeds in the top six inches. Each mature plant can scatter about one hundred seeds if allowed to set.
