To compare growth, development and yield of current commercial lupin varieties and advanced breeding lines sown on two dates on a red sandy loam soil at Rankins Springs in southern NSW.
• Given a very long and favourable season and 517 mm of growing season rainfall at this site, an above average site mean yield of 4.04 t/ha was obtained in this experiment.
• Averaged across species, angustifolius were 19% and 10% higher yielding than albus at 4 May and 20 May sowing date respectively.
• PBA Jurien and Mandelup were the only varieties to show a significant yield reduction as sowing was delayed to 20 May.
Randomised split plot design with sowing date in the main blocks and varieties in the sub-plots; three replications
