Abstract
Different varieties of yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.), brown
mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) and black mustard (Brassica nigra
(L.) W.D.J. Koch) were tested in 1983—1985 at three locations in
Finland. The average seed yield of yellow mustard was 2220 kg/ha, it’s
sinalbine content being 2.2—5.2 g/100g. There were no major differences
between the tested varieties. Varieties ‘Kirby’ and ‘Gisilba’ produced
the largest yields. ‘Gisilba’ and ‘Ochre’ had the shortest growth
periods. The sinalbine content in yellow mustard seeds varied more
between the years than between the varieties. The average yield of brown
mustard was 1620 kg/ha. The variety ‘Picra’ was slightly better than
the other varieties with respect to yield and early ripening. The
sinigrine content in brown mustard seeds were approximately from traces
to 4.4 g/100 g those of ‘Dome’, ‘Blaze’, ‘Sv 8341001’ and ‘Trowse’ being
highest. Black mustard yielded less than 700 kg/ha, the sinigrine
content of the seeds being 1.8—4.5 g/100g.
