yielding, southern highbush blueberry cultivars grown in low-chill regions in the United States were considered too susceptible to mechanical injury to be MH ( Takeda et al., 2008 ). Currently, southern highbush blueberries are MH only late in the season
Southern highbush blueberries have become an important fruit crop in Georgia. They ripen much earlier than the rabbiteye blueberry ( Vaccinium ashei ) during a potentially lucrative market window in April and May in southern Georgia, but have
; Williamson and Lyrene 2004b ). Many new southern highbush blueberry (SHB) plantings in the southeastern United States are grown in pine bark beds that are 15 to 20 cm deep and of varying widths rather than in the underlying soil ( Williamson et al., 2006
). Southern highbush blueberry farms are disseminated throughout Florida from the northern border with Georgia (lat. 30°33′N) to the southwest region (lat. 26°38′N), which comprises most of the cool temperature areas in late fall, winter, and early spring
Southern highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium sp.) continue to increase in importance in Georgia and across the southern United States. Growers are interested in early ripening varieties and are especially keen to find southern highbush varieties with

blueberry cultivars, seedlings with variable morphology and high fertility were obtained ( Lyrene, 1997 ). All selections from the southern highbush blueberry program at Gainesville, FL, have V. darrowii in their pedigree ( Sharpe and Sherman, 1971

potential of ethephon and MeJa to induce fruit detachment in rabbiteye and southern highbush blueberry. To address this objective, the effects of different concentrations of ethephon and MeJa on fruit abscission and FDF were evaluated in multiple blueberry
