Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen from 84 to 252 kg·ha –1 increased canopy volume, leaf retention and new vegetative budbreak.
- Intervention effect Compost increased plant height and volume relative to peat.
- Intervention effect Compost increased flower bud density and fruit yield relative to peat.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen rate had no effect on flower bud density or fruit yield.
- Observation Plants in the non-dormant system showed no deleterious growth effects.
- Recommendation The authors consider warm-winter non-dormant blueberry planting feasible under the described conditions.
