To evaluate new Lupin inoculation initiatives in high background populations of naturalised Rhizobium strains in medium–low rainfall cereal/lupin rotation
Overall the results returned from this trial were confounded by low growing season rainfall and high temperatures during spring. This was reflected in the poor seed yields and significant variation across the treatment replicates reducing the confidence with which results can be drawn from the data.
