Dry matter — yellow lupin

Lupinus luteus L.

Dry matter in yellow lupin is a key indicator of productivity and nutritional value used for accurate variety comparison and calculation of nutrient yield.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Yellow lupin, where this is mentioned in the description.

Dry matter content in yellow lupin serves as a base parameter for evaluating nutritional value, as the protein concentration recalculated per dry matter basis is 18–23% in green forage and 36–42% in grain. This indicator is critical for silage and haylage production, where it determines feed preservation and prevents storage losses.

Dry matter yield per hectare is the primary criterion for variety efficiency; modern forms are capable of providing high productivity levels, for example, up to 12.9 t/ha of dry matter. The optimal harvesting period for green forage is considered to be the "glossy pod" stage, when the nutrient concentration in the dry matter remains at its maximum.
