Wild
mustard
|
|
|
| Wild mustard
is an annual or winter annual that reproduces by seed. In Indiana
it is primarily a problem in small grain fields. |
 |
|
|
 |
It has
a branching growth pattern and a very irregular leaf shape. Wild
mustard can be differentiated from its relative, bitter wintercress by
looking at several characteristics. Wild mustard plants will have
some pubescence on their stems while bitter wintercress will not.
Both of these plants have yellow flowers, but wild mustard blooms much
later in the season than bitter wintercress. |
|
|
| The small,
smooth seeds of wild mustard are round, black to brownish-black in color
and very hard. |
