The Development Of An Efficient Lupin Harvesting Front, E D. Blanchard
The Development Of An Efficient Lupin Harvesting Front, E D. Blanchard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Harvest losses represent a significant reduction in lupin production and farm productivity.
Since 1984, the Department's Farm Machinery Research and Liaison Unit at the Dryland Research Institute has studied the lupin harvesting operation to improve its mechanical efficiency. An experimental and a prototype harvesting front were built and tested in the field. Guidlines for efficient lupin harvesting were produced, and commercial modifications developed.

Faulty Germination Of Lupin Seeds, B J. Quinlivan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE number of lupin seed samples tested in the seed laboratory over the last few years has shown a marked increase with the increasing popularity of lupins as a cash crop.
A seed with satisfactory germination is one which produces a healthy seedling. The germination of lupin samples tested in the laboratory has varied markedly.
