Summary

Following preliminary work in the previous year, further field trials were carried out with strains of the pearl lupin (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) at Oxford, England. Two strains originating in Argentina and one in Bolivia were considered to show promise for development as crop plants in England if toxic alkaloids can be bred out of them. The seeds harvested had a crude protein content from 38·6 to 41·8% and an oil content from 13·1 to 14·4%. Advice is given, based on these trials, on sowing date and spacing.
