A strict field experiment was carried out in 2002-04 with two yellow lupin cultivars, which were harvested 6 times at the 8-10 leaf phase, at the beginning of budding and flowering, at flat pod, at physiological and full seed maturity, to evaluate the dynamics of fresh weight, dry matter as well as N accumulation in vegetative and generative parts of plants. The significantly highest fresh weight yields in both cultivars were obtained at the flat pod phase, while dry matter yields - at the physiological seed maturity. The maximum productivity of conventional Polo cultivar was higher than that of self-completing Legat which, due to a faster growth rate from the beginning of emergence to budding and higher dynamics of fresh weight and dry matter as well as N accumulation, can be more useful as an intercrop. The maximum N content in leaves was observed over budding and flowering phases, while in stems - at the beginning of budding. On the day of harvest the share of Polo seeds in the total dry matter amounted to 39 percent, whereas of Legat seeds - to 42 percent
