Plant height — white lupin

Lupinus albus L.

The plant height of white lupin is a key morphological trait in variety testing, varying within the range of 80–120 cm. The trait is closely related to productivity, harvesting efficiency, and the variety's adaptability to moisture availability conditions.

In the reference 18 varieties crop White lupin, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess plant height under field conditions, a measurement method on sample sheaves taken from plots is used. The value of the trait in scientific documentation is recorded in centimeters and depends on the genotype of the variety and the conditions of the specific growing season. During drought, growth rates decrease, while excessive moisture may lead to overgrowth of vegetative mass.

The height of white lupin directly affects the efficiency of mechanized harvesting and the risk of lodging. Although there is no strict classification based on this trait, the assessment is conducted by comparing with a standard. Plant height also serves as an important indicator in breeding for drought resistance and determines the potential for the formation of lateral branches and grain yield.
