Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Maple Cario Brown Indian Mustard

Maple Cario Brown Indian Mustard (Slobber-treated) offers robust germination, rich flavor, and strong pest resistance. Perfect for gardeners, farmers, and sustainable agriculture with superior adaptability and nutrition.

Maple Cario Brown Indian Mustard (Slobber-treated) is a premium variety of Brassica juncea developed for both flavor and resilience. These seeds undergo a special slobber-treatment process, where each seed is coated with a nutrient-rich formula that enhances germination, early root growth, and seedling vigor. This ensures faster establishment and higher crop success, even in diverse soil and climate conditions.

This mustard variety is prized for its distinctive taste, high oil content, and protein levels, making it a valuable choice for culinary use, forage systems, or cover cropping. The slobber treatment also improves disease resistance, pest tolerance, and handling efficiency, ensuring healthier plants and a more reliable harvest.

Adaptable to a wide range of soils, including loam and sandy soils, Maple Cario Brown Indian Mustard thrives in USDA Zones 6–11, performing best in full sun to partial shade. Whether for leafy greens, seed harvest, or soil improvement, this slobber-treated seed delivers exceptional results.
