Main advantages
PBA Jurien is an Australian sweet lupin variety suitable for all lupin growing areas of Australia. It provides a significant yield improvement over current varieties in most regions.
PBA Jurien is resistant to anthracnose, phomopsis, and grey spot. Seed dressings are still recommended to reduce the risk of seed borne anthracnose infections.
PBA Jurien is moderately susceptible to brown spot and lupin agronomic practices should be followed for this disease.
