Abstract
IN a rotation experiment1 with conifers and green crops in a Forestry Commission nursery on very acid heathland soil near Wareham, Dorset, yellow lupins Lupinus luteus grown with fertilizer have often shown signs of die-back in the older leaves, occasionally with more extensive damage leading to the death of the whole plant.
