The narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) as a nitrogen-fixing rotation crop for cereal production. III. Residual effects of lupins on subsequent cereal crops

Abstract: The effect of the narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) on growth and production of subsequent cereal crops was studied at three sites on the acidic, N-infertile soils of the Pilliga Scrub region of northern New South Wales.Beneficial effects of lupins on dry matter production were evident in either one (Kamala, Florida A) or two subsequent crops of wheat (Florida B). In the absence of fertilizer N, wheat following lupins outyielded wheat following wheat by an average of 57%. At Florida B, the second … Show more

“…Doyle et al, 1988;Peoples and Craswell, 1992;Wani et al, 1995), even when there are apparently only modest returns of fixed N in vegetative residues (Evans et al, 1991;Herridge et al, 1994b). However, rotational benefits might also be greater than expected from calculations of the apparent return of fixed N to soil because estimates of Ladha et al (1995) a Calculated as the difference between the levels of soil nitrate after a legume and after a cereal crop or a period of fallow.…”

“…A reduction in weed pressure and diseases in cereals following legume crops has been reported in numerous cases (Abdin et al, 2000;Clayton et al, 1997;Doyle et al, 1988;Hiltbrunner et al, 2007;Ohno et al, 2000;Reeves et al, 1984;Stevenson and van Kessel, 1996), and secondary metabolites have been assumed to play an important role. White clover is highly used as cover crop and source of green manure in Northern Europe, and the use of white clover as cover crop for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) showed the highest reduction in various weeds in the field compared to other legumes but at the same time had a negative effect on growth and yield of winter wheat (Hiltbrunner et al, 2007).…”

“…Ultimately, the impact of legumes on seed yield and protein content of a succeeding non-legume crop depends on rainfall and temperature, which regulates the rate of soil plus residue N mineralization and thus N availability. The combination of conserved soil N and greater mineralization potential in soil containing pulse above-and below-ground residues may explain why the indirect N benefit of annual legumes to subsequent non-legume crops can be considerable, even when there apparently are only modest returns of fixed N in aboveground vegetative residues -typically defined as the direct N benefit (Doyle et al 1988). The discrepancy between the small direct N contribution from pulse aboveground residues relative to documented yield increases of succeeding cereals indicates the greater relative importance of the indirect N benefit and non-N benefit provided by pulses in rotation van Kessel 1995, 1996).…”
