| 1 Yield data not collected by area. 2 Mucilage in yellow mustard is a measurement of viscosity of aqueous extracts from seed. 3 Varieties are rated S (Susceptible) or R (Resistant) to White Rust strains. 4 Data from 1999-2012 Co-operative Mustard Test. Yield % of check: 124 station years for yellow mustard, and 117 station years for brown and oriental mustard. 5 Data from 2009-2012 Co-operative Mustard Test (29 station years). 6 Data from 2008-2010 Co-operative Mustard Test (21 station years). 7 Data from 2016-2018 Co-operative Mustard Test (22 station years). 8 Data from 2017-2018 Co-operative Mustard Test (14 station years). |

Contract requirements and other varietal factors can influence variety selection. For yellow mustard, there is variation in the amount of mucilage for the three different varieties which may be a factor for variety selection. AAC Adagio has the highest mucilage levels when compared to AC Pennant and Andante. Hybrid Brown 18 shows a 20% increase in yield data over check varieties and the same blackleg resistance as Centennial Brown. AAC Brown 18 is also resistant to race 2a of white rust whereas Centennial brown is not. More information about registered varieties can be found in the SaskSeed Guide.
