    Dryland Cropping Systems EM 8834-E • June 2003 $1.00 Narrow-leaf Lupin K. Kettel, B. Tuck, W.A. Payne, C. Chen, S. Machado, and R. Karow History As a crop species, lupin was important to many ancient civilizations and has been cultivated, mostly as a green manure, for at least 3,000 years. Its native range extends through the western parts of North and South America as well as around the Mediterranean, extending into eastern Africa. Of the more than 300 Lupinus species, only five are cultivated (L. albus, L. angustifolius, L. luteus, L. mutabilis, and L. cosentenii). In the 1920s, German plant breeders produced the first low-alkaloid lupin varieties. Like other legumes, lupin fixes atmospheric nitrogen and produces a high-protein seed that is used as a feed and food source throughout the world. In the past, lupin production in Oregon was limited to white lupin varieties (L. albus). White lupin has been grown in the Columbia Gorge region since the late 1980s. Research at the Oregon State University (OSU) Moro Research Station showed excellent yield potential. Although white lupin is well adapted to most growing conditions in Oregon, it has suffered from undetermined disease problems. In 1998, OSU researchers resumed lupin research in response to grower interest. After conferring with Australian researchers, Dr. William Payne became convinced that imported narrow-leaf lupin varieties (L. angustifolius) from Australia would provide resistance to the types of diseases that had troubled white lupin in the past. Because current Oregon lupin research has focused on narrow-leaf varieties, this publication will discuss the agronomic practices of growing the narrow-leaf varieties developed in Australia.
