Aims

To test ‘Lupin Bud’ for improvement in the main stem pod set in lupins.

Key messages
  • Analysis of the results has not been conducted. The analysis will be distributed to the WMG membership when it is completed.
  • Despite this, it is apparent that the data for the WMG trial does not show any trend to an improvement in pod numbers or yield for any treatment over the ‘Nil’ treatment.
  • Of the other 2 sites, only the Mingenew trial showed a significant trend to increased pod numbers using ‘Lupin Bud‘ at the 6 leaf stage. Secondary pod numbers were also higher for all treatments compared to the Nil. This trial was not harvested.
  • This trial should be repeated in 2014 to see if any conclusive claim can be made for the efficacy of ‘Lupin Bud’.
