North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service Lupin Author: Theresa Golz , Market Research Specialist, NDSU Institute for Business and Industry Development Series Editor: Dwight Aakre , Farm Mangement Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Lupin has been cultivated for at least 2,000 years, and probably was first raised in Egypt, or at least in the general Mediterranean region. The lupin plant, like other grain legumes (beans, peas, lentils), fixes atmospheric nitrogen and produces seed high in protein. Of the more than 300 species of the genus Lupinus , only five are cultivated. Many lupins have high levels of alkaloids (bitter tasting compounds) that make the seed unpalatable and sometimes toxic. Historically, lupin alkaloids have been removed from the seed by soaking. But German plant breeders in the 1920s produced the first selections of alkaloid-free or "sweet" lupin, which can be directly consumed by humans or livestock. Lupins are grown as both a forage and grain legume in the USSR, Poland, Germany, South Africa, and the Mediterranean, and as a cash crop in Australia where they are exported to the European and East Asian feed markets. Adaptation Lupins are best adapted to regions with sandy or sandy loam soils and cool temperatures.

MPRC Gateway Pesticide Alternatives Pesticide Alter n atives Biol ... ources and Fact sheets PESTICIDE ALTERNATIVES This topic page features information on biocontrol and biopesticides - two tools available for individuals interested in alternatives to conventional pesticides. These tools can used in exclusion of conventional pesticides or as part of an IPM (integrated pest management) plan. Check out the Pesticide Reduction topic page for other non-chemical ways to control pest problems. For an overview of non-pesticide control techniques go to: Non-Pesticide Voluntary Best Management Practices that Help Control Pests , MDA, 1998 Effective control of pests - weeds, insects and diseases - is critical to assuring healthy crops. We know of many different approaches to managing pests, including preventing the introduction of pests in the first place, optimum timing of activities, crop rotation, mechanical control techniques, and even encouraging natural enemies of pests. http://www.mda.state.mn.us/appd/BMPs/non-pest.htm Visit our ‘Pesticide Reduction’ topic page for other strategies of pesticide reduction such as cover crops and crop rotation.
