Trial location(s) Badgingarra, WA
Manganese in lupins locations
Aims

To demonstrate responses to manganese (Mn) in lupins.

Key messages
  • There was no yield response to Mn fertiliser.
  • Plant and seed testing confirmed that this site had no requirement for Mn fertiliser, but they did show increased Mn levels with increasing supply.
  • Claying in 2008 probably reduced the likelihood of Mn deficiency by improving soil moisture relations and therefore Mn availability.
