- Intervention effect Surface mulch most effectively increased blueberry spread.
- Intervention effect Peat and sawdust mulches had equal suitability for vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect Sawdust mulch reduced flower bud number compared with peat.
- Intervention effect Mulched plots had higher soil moisture than unmulched plots.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen treatment increased flower bud number in blueberry.
- Association Nitrogen fertilization was especially beneficial with organic mulch.
- Intervention effect Undisturbed soil produced more vigorous plants than homogenized or tilled soil.
- Intervention effect Sawdust incorporated into homogenized soil harmed lowbush blueberry growth.
