Optimizing fertilizer rates for wild blueberry

(American Society for Horticultural Science) Researchers examined effects of soil-applied fertilizers [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)] in a 12-year field experiment. The study recommends optimum rates for improved growth and harvestable yield of wild blueberry. The authors said the study could contribute toward better farm profitability in areas with similar growing conditions, and also recommend modifications to existing fertilizer rates for wild blueberry in central Nova Scoti...
