SIGNIFICANCE OF THE pH OF BLUEBERRY LEAVES.

چکیده
Ecologically, the swamp, or highbush blueberry, Vacxiniunt corymbosum L., differs fundamentally from other cultivated plants in its requirements for an acid soil, a conistant source of moisture (6), and a relatively high anion nutrient uptake (19). In conjunction with studies on blueberry nutrition presented elsewhere (19), data were obtained on the effect of mineral nutrient deficiencies and age of leaves on the pH of the blueberry leaf sap. It was thought that these studies on the pH of the leaf sap might offer the key to an understanding of the mechanism by which the swamp blueberry can live in its usual environment.

The aim of the study was to examine response of ‘Jersey’ highbush blueberry to boron (B) fertilization. The experiment was carried out in 2002-2003 at a private plantation in Central Poland on mature blueberries planted on a sandy loam soil with pH 4.1, low organic matter status, and medium available B content. Blueberries were supplied with B by foliar applications or broadcasting. Foliar B sp...
