Trial location(s) Cavendish, VIC
Lupin agronomy trial locations
Aims

To evaluate some simple agronomic changes to lupin sowing rates and fertiliser rates to see if it has an impact on yield. 

Key messages
  • Emergence counts early in season showed that there was no significant difference between the emergences of lupins at the three lower sowing rates.
  • About 85 plants/m2 compared with 120 plants/m2 for the highest sowing rate. Interestingly enough the yields later in the season did not follow this trend.
  • For further conclusions please see the attached trial report.
