Indigenous to
the Mediterranean and Southern Europe, mustard is an erect,
multi-branched herbaceous plant. Mustard has been in use
for ages in condiments and medicines in several parts
of the world. Today, its use has been extended widely.
Hardly, readily grown and easily adaptable, mustard is
cultivated in most temperate climates. It is also now
grown in certain tropical and sub-tropical regions as
a cold-weather crop. India is a major producer of mustard
which is extensively cultivated in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,
West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. |
