Effects of variety, planting time and seed rate on lupin yield and protein locations
Aims

To compare agronomic factors on seven lupin varieties for yield and grain protein.

Key messages
  • Plant densities varied with seed rate, time of planting and variety.
  • Quinilock showed the greatest response in protein level to delayed planting time.
