blueberries in the country ( Strik and Yarborough, 2005 ). Specifically, three types of blueberries are produced in the region. Northern highbush blueberry and southern highbush blueberry (≈6750 acres) are predominantly for the fresh market and, with a few
. Materials and Methods Blueberry samples. Southern highbush blueberries were collected from a UF grower–cooperator farm near Windsor, FL (lat. 29°41′18″ N, long. 82°10′40″ W, 35 m elevation). The predominant soil types at this location were Bonneau fine sand
domesticated less than a century ago in New Jersey and includes the principal cultivars grown in northern climates ( Ballington, 2009 ; Chavez and Lyrene, 2009 ). The southern highbush blueberry (SHB, 2n = 4x = 48) cultivars were developed from hybridizations
of ‘Emerald’ southern highbush blueberry viewed with a stereomicroscope; stages of internal development 1 to 5 (Stages I-1 through I-5). Stage I-1: vegetative bud ( A ) showing a single vegetative meristem (Vm). Stage I-2: multiple meristems in an
(N) uptake on a plant dry weight basis in ‘Sharpblue’ southern highbush blueberry at intervals following a single application of 15 N-labeled ammonium (NH 4 + ) or 15 N-labeled nitrate (NO 3 − ). 1 μg·g −1 = 1 ppm ( Merhaut and Darnell, 1995
system and soil treatment on canopy volume of ‘Meadowlark’ and ‘Farthing’ southern highbush blueberry from 2015 to 2018, Citra and Archer, FL. Yield. Total yield of ‘Meadowlark’ was significantly greater in grafted compared with own-rooted plants for all
Southern highbush blueberry production is expanding rapidly in the low-chill regions of the southeastern United States ( U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2013 ). Specific soil conditions are needed for optimum growth, plant health, and productivity
of southern highbush blueberry in high tunnels in northern Georgia. The aim of the study was to determine the optimum tunnel closure date for generating large, early yields. We also quantified the effects of high tunnels on the microclimate
