Description
White, yellow, and narrow-leafed lupins are grown in Australia, Europe, and South America in conjunction with cereals and oilseeds. While lupins may not be as profitable as these other crops, they contribute to system profitability by enhancing the productivity of other crops in various ways. Sowing time is the most critical aspect of lupin management (autumn in Australia and usually spring in Europe), but changes in disease prevalence and herbicide-resistant weeds over the past 20 years have led to changes in the level of lupin production and the species grown. We also discuss crop density, fertilizer management, pest management, and harvesting.
