Outcome

• Results from the first year of the trial indicate Knife point/ open front treatments had the highest yield

• Earlier Lupin Germination (7-10 days)

• Increased soil organic carbon in 9/10 sampling sites for disc and stripper sites compared to a decrease in soil organic carbon in 9/10 knifepoint/open front sites.

• Other factors at play including yield maps interacting with soil type, with the farmer backing previous knowledge of the land contributing to knowledge, as well as conditions during seeding.
