White lupine
FIGARO
High yielding variety with low alkaloid content
Benefits:
- Early maturity
- Stable high grain yields
- Excellent protein and high oil yield
- Ideal for human consumption and fodder due to low alkaloid content
- Healthy variety - highly suitable for organic cultivation
- FIGARO is currently undergoing regestration at the Bundessortenamt, Germany as an EU variety. FIGARO has shown stable yields over multiple years in other countries, indicating an anthracnose tolerance.

Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 40-50 grains/m² |
| Inoculation | Inoculate seed with suitable rhizobia before sowing |
| Sowing depth | 2-4 cm - sowing too deep reduces yield |
| Sowing period | Middle of March until Middle of April; soil temperature of at least 4°C |
| Fertilization | No N-fertilization necessary. Depending on the nutrient content of the soil and nutrient extraction 30-50 kg P₂O₅/ha, 60-130 kg K₂O/ha and about 25 kg MgO/ha are advised. Micronutrients: boron and molybdenum during drought. Other than that copper, iron an |
| Crop protection | Use herbicides during pre-emergence or mechanically hoe or harrow the field for weed control. Post-emergence herbicide application specifically against grasses is possible. If necessary use fungicides against athracnose and rust. |
| Sowing method | Drilling is advised; row distance identical to cereals. |
| Harvest | Middle of August until early September. Optimal moisture for harvesting 14-16%. Use protective setting for threshing to avoid broken grains. |
