start opening and then allowed to dry and finish ripening. The process can be somewhat laborious because the pods may be at different maturation stages, so the farmer must go and collect the nearly-ripe (unopened) pods once every couple of days. Intercropping works very well in the case of Lupinus pilosus: traditionally it has been interspersed with other edible plants, such as the potato or different grains. Until recently, there was no attempt to grow it commercially and each family planted it on a very limited scale, for personal use. Although Lupinus pilosis is considered resistant to disease, in recent years, since cultivation has been monitored more methodically, it was reported as susceptible to Phorbia platura, Phorbia florilega, the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, and the oil beetle Mylabris polymorpha.
