Narrow leaf lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) dominates grain legume production in Australia, however it is poorly adapted to about 6.5 million hectares of fine-textured, neutral to alkaline soils in southern Australia. Other grain legumes suitable for these soils are rapidly becoming an important part of agriculture in Western Australia. Field pea (Pisum sativum) consistently produces the greatest seed yields of the grain legumes in dry seasons and late planting situations. Faba bean (Vicia faba) escapes dro
lso has the capacity to escape drought through early maturity, although cultivars released in eastern Australia are late flowering for short season environments. Albus lupin (Lupinus albus) - is sensitive to free lime in the soil profile, similar to nar
