following year on previous year’s wood ( Sun et al., 2015 ; Zhou and Hara, 1988 ). Sufficient N fertilization is needed for perennial plants to increase stored N in the fall. Stored N is remobilized in the spring to facilitate new growth ( Millard, 1995

application method of fertilization are fundamental to obtaining higher yields in blackberry ( Castaño et al., 2008 ). However, little research has been done on fertility and nutrient requirements for blackberry production in Brazil, and therefore remains a
Improper fertilization of residential landscapes can result in water quality degradation because of nutrients [mainly nitrogen and phosphorus (P)] in leachate or runoff. For example, Line et al. (2002) reported that average total N and P export

salinity has been recognized as a research area attracting applied scientists interest ( Fallovo et al., 2009a , 2009b ; Fanasca et al., 2006a , 2006b ). Proper management of the fertilization and the use of saline water can provide an effective tool to
