To compare growth, development and yield of current commercial lupin varieties and promising advanced breeding lines sown on three dates on a red–brown earth at Wagga Wagga in southern NSW. This information will be used to confirm and update current agronomic
recommendations for lupin in this region.
• No significant yield difference was found when lupins were sown on 28 April, 17 May or 2 June, when averaged across varieties in 2016.
• PBA GunyidiA and PBA JurienA were the highest yielding commercial narrow-leafed varieties, when averaged across sowing times.
• Albus varieties yielded significantly higher from the 17 May sowing when compared with the earlier sowing date (28 April) and later sowing date (2 June).
