Abstract

Abstract Growth of ‘Bluecrop’ highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) on Lloyd and McCown's woody plant medium was significantly unaffected by initial pH adjustments from 4.0 to 6.0 but was reduced significantly at pH 6.5. The expiants altered the pH of the medium during a 10-week culture period. A negative correlation between the final pH of the medium and growth was observed.
