Comparing canola and lupin varieties by time of sowing in the Northern Agricultural Region 17GE20 locations
Aims
  1. To see if matching canola and lupin variety maturity to sowing time would increase yields
  2. To compare the time of sowing response of canola and narrow leaf lupin
Key messages
  • Lupin yielded 3.0 t/ha and canola 2.0 t/ha from late May emergence.
  • Lupin gross margins were competitive with canola, and lupin gave the highest return on investment.
  • For both lupin and canola variety selection was important, in particular Jurien lupin performed well from all sowing dates.
