microelements

Lequmes are an especially valuable group of cultivated plants. Yellow lupin is one of them. It is
characterized by high protein content in seeds and the lowest soil requirements among all lupin
varieties cultivated in Poland. Besides yellow lupin in crop rotation is a very good forecrop and
effects of its positive influence can be noticed during subsequent years after its cultivation. In
years 2011-2012 a strict field experiment was carried in the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing
in Dukla attached to Central Research Station of Cultivated Plants Varieties in Słupia Wielka. The
goal of the experiment was to specify the reaction of yellow lupin (varieties Mister and Taper) to
foliar feeding (Basfoliar 6-12-6). The research project was financed with the means of the
National Science Centre. It was noticed that the application of foliar feeding considerably
modified the leaf area index (LAI), but did not influence the mean tip angle (MTA). The content
of chlorophyll evaluated with SPAD index in the final phase of budding was considerably higher
on the sample with foliar feeding than on the control sample. Research results proved that the
applied fertilizer considerably increased the number of pods on a plant. The number of seeds in a
pod and mass of thousand grains were not considerably different. Applied foliar feeding
positively influenced the seed yield. The obtained considerable difference, in comparison with
control sample, amounted to 0.37 t·ha -1 . The contents of general protein and raw fat were not
considerably modified by Basfoliar 6-12-6. Considerable differences in most examined
parameters between Mister variety and Taper variety were confirmed.
