- Intervention effect Fertigation with fluid NH4-N sources increased growth of Buecrop blueberry relative to conventional granular fertilizers.
- Intervention effect Fertigation with fluid NH4-N sources increased yield of Buecrop blueberry relative to conventional granular fertilizers.
- Intervention effect Applying humic substances with N fertigation nearly doubled root production during the first 2 years after planting.
- Recommendation Soluble potassium sulphate and potassium thiosulfate are recommended as good sources for fertigation in blueberry.
- Intervention effect Soluble potassium sulphate and potassium thiosulfate had an immediate effect on availability of K and other nutrients in the soil solution.
- Intervention effect Soluble potassium sulphate and potassium thiosulfate increased the nutrient status of Duke blueberry after 2 years.
- Intervention effect Potassium applied by fertigation or as a granular product gave no benefit to fruit production at sites with sufficient soil K.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilizers had no effect on mineral nutrition of Duke blueberry, even under P-limited conditions.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilizers had no effect on fruit production of Duke blueberry, even under P-limited conditions.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilizers had no effect on mineral nutrition of Bluecrop blueberry, even under P-limited conditions.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilizers had no effect on fruit production of Bluecrop blueberry, even under P-limited conditions.
- Intervention effect B fertilizers increased the B concentration in leaves and fruit of Earliblue blueberry, particularly when applied by fertigation or as a foliar fertilizer.
- Intervention effect B fertilizers increased the B concentration in leaves and fruit of Elliott blueberry, particularly when applied by fertigation or as a foliar fertilizer.
