Abstract  Maternal seed lines from 31 elite plants of Lupinus polyphyllus were selected in 3 breeding cycles over 8 years from 46 accessions for growth, stock acceptability under grazing, and persistence under low fertility conditions in New Zealand. Most elite plants derived from an accession from Germany rather than from horticultural hybrid accessions.
