Nitrogen mustard is used in chemotherapy. It also has the potential to be a weapon of terror so its manufacture and use is closely monitored.

Nitrogen mustards can be clear, pale amber, or yellow colored when in liquid or solid form. The yellow mustard color accounting for its designation as "mustard."

It is not the mustard gas that was used in WWI. It is a man made substance and liquid at room temperature.

Why is mustard important?

Plants like clover, alfalfa, and beans contain nodules in their roots and these nodules are full of nitrogen fixing bacteria. Plants that contain root nodules are called legumes. Fields are often planted with clover to increase the nitrogen content of the soil. Once the plants have grown they are ploughed back into the soil. As they decay, the nutrients they contain are released into the soil. One advantaged of using legumes is that they are a cheaper source of nitrogen for the soil than artificial fertilisers.There are two main reasons for a farmer to plant mustard: 1) to grow a crop of mustard seed for the production of mustard, a condiment common in the US and Europe; 2) to have a "cover crop" to plow down for organic matter and nutrient content, to enrich the soil. Unlike legumes, mustard's only nitrogen content is that which it was able to draw from the soil.
