Comparison of Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) under Ridge and Pot Production

Due to the specific requirements for low soil pH, new production methods are being introduced highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Planting in pots has gained popularity recent years due easier control of substrate pH. This study was carried out on 2-year-old ‘Duke’, ‘Aurora’ and ‘Brigitta’ cultivar plants that were planted along a ridge or pots. The temperature reached higher values pots, while water content ridge. In ‘Duke’ plants, significantly sugar/organic acid ratios obtained fruit from However, total phenolics content, greater plant volumes lower yields per as potted compared harvested had organic content; however, no significant difference seen ratio between conditions. is first compare responses different cultivars terms impact microclimatic conditions, volume yield primary secondary metabolites content.
