Green manure — Narrow-leaf lupin

Lupinus angustifolius L.

As a green manure crop, narrow-leaf lupin provides high nitrogen fixation of up to 200 kg of nitrogen per hectare and is effective on acidic soils. Its powerful root system converts poorly soluble phosphates into an available form, and the high alkaloid content in its biomass contributes to soil he…

In the reference 13 varieties crop Narrow-leaf lupin, where this is mentioned in the description.

Narrow-leaf lupin is capable of providing 70% of its nitrogen requirements through symbiosis with Bradyrhizobium lupini bacteria, accumulating nitrogen in volumes exceeding those of clover, peas, or faba beans. The crop's powerful, deep-penetrating root system allows it to extract nutrients from deep soil horizons, while the high fiber content in the green mass promotes long-term soil structuring and uniform nitrogen release.

Unlike forage varieties, green manure types of lupin are characterized by a high alkaloid content, which, when the biomass is incorporated into the soil, provides a pronounced disinfecting effect. This property, along with a phytosanitary effect that suppresses nematodes and a range of cereal and potato diseases, makes lupin a valuable component of crop rotation. The crop is adapted to acidic soils, where other green manure crops perform significantly worse.
