Mustard Aria

ARIA is an early-maturing white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) variety intended for growing as seeds, green mass, or cover crop. The vegetative period lasts 74–81 days, plant height reaches 102 cm, with lower branches attaching approximately 22 cm from the base. Seed yield ranges from 6.2 to 12.1 centners per hectare, while green mass yield ranges from 108 to 203 centners per hectare, making the variety highly productive.

ARIA seeds have an oil content range of 37–41%, with fat content of 37.7–41.2%. An important characteristic is the high level of erucic acid – 39.75% of total oil content, which enhances nutritional value and final product quality. Mass of 1000 seeds is 5.6 g.

The variety shows good resistance to unfavorable conditions: lodging is rated at 5 points, shattering and drought at 4 points. Susceptibility to powdery mildew is limited to 0–5%, to cruciferous clubroot and Alternaria to 10%. Resistance to cruciferous flower weevil is above average, with damage ranging from 11% to 25%. These properties make ARIA a suitable choice for a wide range of growing regions.
