Lupin variety trial locations
Aims

Measure yield improvement in varieties from the Lupin breeding program.

Key messages
  • The analysis of the results must take into account the Least Significant Difference (LSD) of 0.43 t/ha.
  • The LSD of 0.43 t/ha indicates that Jenabillup was statistically better yielding than all varieties except PBA Barlock.
  • All other varieties except Danja were not statistically significantly different in yield.
  • The yield trend shows PBA Barlock was second highest yielding.
  • While Jenabillup was the highest yielding variety, which is not unusual for this variety, it is not recommended for the WMG region as it is susceptible to Anthracnose.
