Slugs and mustard

[Squib]

I have just sown mustard on some fallow land which is crawling with slugs, will they bother it?

TIA

I drilled barley and mustard for Glastir wild bird seed margins. On one strip, alongside a wood, the slugs have hammered the barley but left the mustard seedlings. On another strip, the barley is coming well, but flea beetle are giving the mustard some stick (& not allowed to spray).

Can report they do eat mustard... Pelleted now!
Getting an expensive cover esp if I end up spraying for diamond backed moths [emoji20]

Slugs are leaving my mustard, but nibbling the other brassicas in the mix. Wildlife is leaving the phacelia and fenugreek alone, but eating the clovers. Clovers especially well munched now.
