Summary
Narrow leaf lupins have fallen out of favour in recent years throughout the South Australian Mallee due to adapted genetics and higher gross margins for lentils. However, lupins remain an important part of the rotation in the SA Mallee for erosion management, a source of sheep feed and as a crop able to handle the gradually acidifying soils. Participants of the Lameroo National Grower Network forum have raised constant frustrations with lupin production and want to understand best agronomics to get the most out of lupins, particularly focusing on maximising establishment and increasing their competitiveness and consistency. To address these challenges, GRDC is investing in demonstration and extension of best practice lupin management to understand how to profitably and consistently improve lupin production.
