Speaking of Farming by C M Ling on Lupine as winter cover crop
In Houston County blue lupine has emerged as a winter legume option from Alabama experience. It tolerates temps down to around eight degrees and can yield seed, with records of up to 2000 pounds per acre in this county. Farmers are urged to grow their own seed, plant in early October at about 50 pounds per acre, and prepare land well. Demonstrations show lupine can succeed when sown before peanut harvest with minimal land prep. Fertilizer needs are not yet definite, but legume practice suggests phosphate applications.
