- Association Initial mulch pH poorly predicted subsequent soil pH.
- Intervention effect Organic mulches had no significant or slight positive effects on soil pH after 12 months.
- Association Initial mulch nutrient content predicted soil nutrient availability and relative plant-growth benefit.
- Intervention effect garden compost increased soil nutrients and supported the highest mustard yields.
- Intervention effect cocoa shell mulches increased soil nutrients and supported the highest mustard yields.
- Intervention effect Wood and bark mulches showed no evidence of mustard growth suppression after twelve months.
- Intervention effect No mulch significantly changed soil organic matter content.
