Mustard is also a good source of organic matter, which helps to improve the structure of the soil and can also help to improve water retention.<\/p>\n<p>Maize, wheat, and pulses are all cereal crops. Cereal crops are not grown as cover crops because they do not have the same benefits as mustard. Cereal crops do not fix nitrogen, so they do not improve the fertility of the soil. They also do not add organic matter to the soil.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, mustard is the best crop to grow as a cover crop to improve soil health and fertility. It is a nitrogen-fixing crop that adds organic matter to the soil.
