Yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) – the most important industrial plant among all legume crops. Seeds of the «Burshtyn» variety have the highest protein content and low level of anti-nutrients, making them a valuable feed for agricultural animals. Moreover, this variety is suitable both for seed production and as green feed and cover crop in crop rotation.
«Burshtyn» is an indeterminate annual lupin that grows rapidly from 80 cm to 1.5 m. It is characterized by low requirements for soil and water: moderately acidic or slightly alkaline soil, a sunny location, and moderate watering are sufficient. The variety is resistant to viral diseases, fusarium wilt, and anthracnose, and can withstand periodic frosts, as the development cycle begins at temperatures just above the freezing point.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to plant rhizomes in late April–early May, apply foliar fertilizer, loosen the soil, and water in a timely manner. After flowering ends (about 30 days), faded inflorescences can be cut to stimulate reblooming in August. Autumn-winter care includes pruning leaves to a height of 20 cm and covering the root neck with fallen leaves to protect from severe frosts. Due to its decorative quality and versatility, lupin blends beautifully with delphiniums, irises, chamomiles, and grasses in garden compositions.
The package contains 1–10 kg of seeds of the «Burshtyn» variety (depending on the pack) and a cultivation guide. This makes lupin convenient for both farmers and gardeners who wish to obtain quality feed, improve soil structure, and decorate their plot with bright yellow flowers.
