“…Maturity time of the determinate line was slightly earlier in France, and significantly so in the cool, wet climate of the UK. This new architecture offers prospects for expanding production of autumnsown white lupin further north in Europe, in cool and wet areas (Julier et al, 1993b) and confirms the assumptions obtained by Milford et al (1993b) after pruning experiments on indeterminate genotypes.…”

Summary — Determinate autumn-sown white lupins (Lupinus albus L) are new types which are potentially interesting for the improvement of yield stability and for cultivation of lupins in northern Europe. Two determinate genotypes were studied in 1990/1991 and 1991/1992 at Lusignan, France, under 17 combinations of sowing date, density and irrigation. Dry matter production was 1 061 g/m 2 on average and the duration of the growing cycle was 2 284°C·d (degree·day) from sowing (base 3°C). Late sowing date and low density induced a reduction of total biomass at maturity. The leaf area index (LAI) was 2.6 on average at its maximum and the mainstem was the level with the highest LAI, followed by the first-order branches and the second-order branches. Mean seed yield was 3.65 t/ha, and was rather stable over the agronomic conditions. Yield was correlated with total above-ground matter, but was independent of harvest index. Yield was also correlated with number of seeds per m 2 but was independent of mean seed weight. Yield on the mainstem was, statistically, totally explained by the number of mainstem leaves per m 2 . Relationships between the yields of the different pod orders were detected. Nitrogen accumulation followed dry matter accumulation, and the mean nitrogen harvest index was 0.

“…Seed size progressively decreases in pods borne higher on the plant in indeterminate Lunoble, but remains nearly constant in CH304/70 (Milford et al 1993). As a consequence, mean seed weight tends to be more stable across sites in CH304/70, in which the mainstem and the first-order pods produce all of the yield in France and most of it in the UK.…”

“…Whether second-order branches are produced depends on growing conditions, but they are usually few and weak and produce relatively few pods. Experiments in France and the UK, in which plants of indeterminate cultivars were pruned to a range of fully-and semideterminate forms showed that plants with a mainstem plus one order of branching produced adequate yields and matured acceptably early, even in cool seasons in the UK (Milford et al 1993). Theoretically, semi-determinate genotypes should have a greater yield potential and stability of yield than epigonals, and should mature earlier than indeterminates and thus be more suited to northern European conditions.…”

The seed yields and maturity dates of an indeterminate cultivar (Lunoble) and a determinate line (CH304/70) of Lupinus albus L. were measured at three locations in France (Lusignan, Dijon and Gotheron) and at Rothamsted, UK, in 1989/90 and 1990/91. Different combinations of sowing dates, plant densities and irrigation treatments were tested at some sites.Averaged over all sites, CH304/70 yielded more than Lunoble (3-26 v. 2-98 t/ha) but there were significant genotype x location interactions for yield and date of maturity. Both genotypes gave similar yields at the three locations in France (313 and 306 t/ha, respectively). But under the cool and wet conditions at Rothamsted, CH304/70 yielded 4-26 t/ha compared with only 202 t/ha for Lunoble. Yields of CH304/70 were more stable than those of Lunoble across locations and years; the coefficients of variation about the overall means were 14 and 22%, respectively. CH304/70 ripened up to 16 days sooner than Lunoble in France, and 6 weeks earlier than Lunoble in the cooler conditions of the UK.In wet growing conditions (Lusignan 1989/90, Rothamsted 1990/91) Lunoble had increased vegetative growth which decreased the proportion of yield produced by mainstem pods and correspondingly increased the proportion borne on second-order branches. This continued branching also delayed harvest, especially in the UK where the crop was not harvestable until early November. In these conditions, CH304/70 outyielded Lunoble at Lusignan (3-4 v. 2-7 t/ha) and at Rothamsted (4-3 v. 2-0 t/ha) and was harvested acceptably early in mid-September. However, under warm, dry conditions, Lunoble produced only one order of branches at Gotheron and two orders at Lusignan in 1990/91. At Gotheron, both genotypes matured at the same time but CH304/70 yielded slightly better (3-1 v. 2-8 t/ha) because it produced a higher proportion of its yield on the mainstem, whereas at Lusignan, Lunoble yielded better than CH304/70 (4.1 v. 3.4 t/ha) because of extra yield from pods on second-order branches.CH304/70 produced seeds of larger mean size and had greater stability of seed size across years and locations than Lunoble did. This was apparently the result of CH304/70's determinate structure, in which c. 75-100% of the yield was from pods on the mainstem and first-order branches, whose seeds were larger and less variable in size than those from pods on higher-order branches of indeterminates.The development of autumn-sown genotypes with a determinate structure that combine adequate yield and early harvest under cool conditions offers the prospect of extending the geographical range of lupins, grown for grain, both to the cool regions of northern Europe and to hotter and drier regions in southern Europe where summer drought limits the yield of conventional indeterminate types. 178

“…The yield of more suitable locality (New Valley) was 2.64 t ha -1 , whereas the yield of less suitable one (Ismailia) was 1.09 t ha -1 only. Similarly, Milford et al (1993) in better growing conditions with warm and dry year in Great Britain and France had seed yield from 4.9 t ha -1 to 5.2 t ha -1 in comparison to worse growing conditions with cool and wet year with seed yield from 1.5 t ha -1 to 2.4 t ha -1 . Payne et al (2004) reported the maximum white lupin seed yield of 2.13 t ha -1 in the state of Oregon (Pacific Northwest).…”

“…White lupin seed is valuated for its high protein content (Payne et al 2004;Raza & Jørnsgård 2005). Influence of the environmental factors (weather, locality) and cropping system factors (drilling date, seeding rate, row distance, fertilization) on seed yield and yield components in white lupin was tested by the following researchers: Milford et al (1993), López-Bellido et al (1994), Shield et al (1996), Payne et al (2004), Wiatrak et al (2004), Raza and Jørnsgård (2005), Ciesiołka et al (2007), Gonzáles-Andrés et al (2007). It is imperative to drill white lupin in early spring.…”

Field trial with white lupin Lupinus albus L., an anti-trypsin-free French cultivar Amiga, on heavy gleyey alluvial soil of the research base in Milhostov (alt.: 101 m, avg. year temp.: 9.0°C, year precip.: 559 mm) in the trial years of 2006-2008 was performed. The influence of three seeding rates: 0.55, 0.65, 0.75 million viable seeds per ha (MVS) and three doses of N fertilization: 25, 50, 75 kg ha -1 N on seed yield and yield components such as plant number per m 2 , pod number per plant, seed number per plant and thousand seed weight was tested in the trial. The data of randomized complete block design trial were statistically evaluated by ANOVA and LSD method. All tested factors had highly significant (P≤0.01) influence on seed yield. Seed yield was especially influenced by weather in year (97.8% influence), followed by seeding rate with the influence of 1.8% and N fertilization with the influence of 0.3% only. The highest seed yield of 2.21 t ha -1 was under the highest seeding rate of 0.75 MVS with the difference of 0.36 t ha -1 (19.5%) in comparison with the lowest seeding rate of 0.55 MVS (1.85 t ha -1 ) and about 0.15 t ha -1 (10.7%) higher in comparison with the seeding rate of 0.65 MVS (2.06 t ha -1 ). The highest influence on seed yield had the dose of 75 kg ha -1 N. The seed yield of 2.09 t ha -1 under the treatment with the highest dose of 75 kg ha -1 N was about 0.13 t ha -1 (6.6%) higher than the yield under the treatment with the lowest dose of 25 kg ha -1 N (1.96 t ha -1 ). All yield components were highly significantly (P≤0.01) influenced by weather in year. Plant number per m 2 was also highly significantly (P≤0.01) influenced by all tested factors. 53Agriculture (Poľnohospodárstvo), 57, 2011 (2): 53−60 White lupin Lupinus albus L. is a forage species from the family Fabaceae.
