About Tozer Seeds
Tozer Seeds is a British vegetable breeding company established in 1939. Initially serving local markets, it expanded to supply seeds globally, with offices in Spain and the USA. The company focuses on innovation in plant breeding, ensuring high germination rates and seed purity.

Green Manure and Biofumigation
Green manuring involves incorporating plant tissue into soil to restore productivity. Caliente Mustard offers benefits such as improved soil fertility, structure, aeration, and biodiversity. It is suitable for organic and conventional systems, enhancing crop yields.

Biofumigation Process
Biofumigation suppresses soil pests using compounds like isothiocyanate (ITC) from Brassicaceous plants. Caliente Mustards are bred for high biomass and glucosinolate levels, essential for effective biofumigation.

Benefits to Various Crops
  • Potato and Root Crops: Enhances soil health, improves potato skin finish, and suppresses weeds and nematodes.
  • Soft and Cane Fruit Crops: Provides nutrients, improves root systems, and suppresses pathogens and nematodes.
  • Vegetable and Salad Crops: Reduces weeding costs, provides nutrients, and suppresses weeds and pathogens.

Other Applications
Caliente Mustards are also used in top fruit replanting, forestry, protected cropping, ornamentals, cut flowers, bulb production, and viticulture.

Caliente Mustard Varieties
  • Caliente Mustard 199: High glucosinolate levels, requires good growing conditions, and essential irrigation.
  • Caliente Mustard 61: Large leaves, suitable for warmer climates, requires irrigation in low moisture areas.
  • Nemat (Eruca sativa): Trap crop for nematodes, tolerant to temperature variations, and drought-resistant.

Crop Protocol
Successful biofumigation requires proper seed placement, timing, irrigation, and fertilization. Incorporation should occur shortly after chopping to maximize ITC gas retention. Post-incorporation, a 14-day waiting period is recommended before planting subsequent crops.

Conclusion
Caliente Mustards improve soil quality and reduce pest pressure, but effectiveness varies with soil type and management. Growers should evaluate their conditions before relying solely on these products for pest control.
