ABSTRACT

Field experiment of the cultivation of lupin for seeds was established in 2002-2004 at the Experimental and Didactic Station in Złotniki, a property of the Agricultural University in Poznań. The influence of the application of different soil cultivation systems and foliar microelement fertilization on yield and usability features of yellow lupin, Parys cultivar, was studied. The highest yield of seeds and protein as well as the weight of 1000 seeds were obtained in the no-ploughing cultivation system. The remaining features, such as particular yield components, energy efficiency of yield and sowing value of seeds were modified to the highest degree by the course of weather conditions in the particular years of the studies. Among the foliar fertilizers, the most favourable effect on the yellow lupin seed yield was exerted by a dose of Ekolist applied twice, while the chemical composition of seeds, energy efficiency of yield and the sowing value of seeds were not changed by this factor.

Key words: yellow lupin, soil cultivation systems, yield, foliar fertilization, seed quality, economic effects.
