Aims

Lupin phenology and yield responses to sowing date and water treatment

Key messages

•Mandelup and PBA Bateman were the fastest maturing varieties at Wagga Wagga.
•Early sowing at both sites and water treatment (Wagga Wagga) prolonged the growth duration.
•At Wagga Wagga, sowing date had no effect on biomass accumulation, however, more biomass was accumulated in the water treatment.
•Early sowing increased biomass at Rankins Springs.
•PBA Jurien showed a high and stable grain yield over the 2 locations in 2021. At Wagga Wagga, it was the highest yielding variety, while at Rankins Springs only PBA Bateman yielded higher.
•PBA Jurien and PBA Bateman had the highest seed weight at Wagga Wagga, while Mandelup and PBA Bateman had the highest seed weight at Rankins Springs.
•Machine grain yield increased with irrigation and late sowing.
