Trial details

Researcher(s) Gavin Bignell (Liebe Group)
Year(s) 2003
Contributor Liebe Group
Trial location(s) East Maya, WA
Evaluation of wide row lupins locations
Aims

Assess the yield of wide (18 inch) versus narrow (9 inch) lupin rows.

Key messages
  • On average the wide row lupins yielded 115kg/ha higher than the narrow lupins.
  • Simazine damage was very pronounced in this particular crop. However, damage in the wider rows appeared to be much less than that in the narrow rows.
  • The same seeding and fertiliser rates were used for both treatments which made changing the bar over relatively quick.
