Why Choose c. v Dieta White Lupin?
- adapted to higher pH soils
- white lupin is the highest yielding of lupin species
- seed protein content % (yellow > white > narrow leaved blue)
- preferred lupin species for food applications
- lower overall alkaloids 1/3 of angustifolius
Field Selection
Responds well to moderate and high (not excessive), evenly consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
Do not plant white lupin (L. albus) on
- soils > 7.8 pH
- soils with low organic matter /degraded knolls
- manured fields
- extremely sandy or heavy clay soils
- fields in close proximity to bee hives (outcrossing)
Require cereal stubble (barley, wheat, oat) excluding fall rye that has had a pre harvest (or post harvest) glyphosate
Similar to other pulse crops be careful of herbicide residues from herbicide products used on the crops before growing lupin (past field history for at least two years)
- product active ingredients or chemistries to watch (sulfonylureas, dicamba, clopyralid, pyrasulfoltole).
If unsure about your previous herbicide product conduct a field bioassay.
- Common products (Tradenames) to be aware for herbicide residues are
2,4D/MCPA(under extreme dry conditions), Accent, Ally, Assert, Attain, Banvel II/Engenia, Curtail M, Eclipse III, Express* Everest, GlyKamba, Hat Trick, Infinity, Lontrel, Muster, PrePass, Prestige, Primextra II Magnum, Primextra Magnum, Shotgun, Simazine, Spectrum, Sundance, Triton C, Tundra Tordon, T rophy, Prism, Ultim, Unity and Velpar (this is not an exhaustive list and check the Tradename of products used for reside type chemistries)
Infinity* (pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil) on wheat and Tundra (pyrasulfotole + fenoxyprop-p-ethyl + bromoxynil) on barley the year previous.
- *do not plant field pea on soils with pH >7.5 and organic matter < 2.5%
Watch pre-emergent and post seeding applications of any product [i.e. Express SG* (tribenuron-methyl + glyphosate or 2, 4-D).
- *should not used prior on pulse crops on soils greater than 50% sand and less than 3% organic matter
If unsure please check with an agrologist and/or herbicide company representative.
