Lupin cultivation with disease-resistant varieties in Switzerland
New lupin varieties show promise for organic farming in Europe
or
Detail description
White lupin cultivation in Switzerland has been revitalized through new disease-resistant varieties, 'Frida' and 'Sulimo', overcoming anthracnose, a major fungal threat. Field trials by Christine Arncken (FiBL) confirm successful organic cultivation, highlighting white lupins as a sustainable, high-protein feed alternative in Europe. This research supports organic farming goals and is part of the Legumes Translated initiative, funded under Horizon Europe. Video available in German with English subtitles.
