Breeding Blueberries for Low-Chilling Requirement1

Abstract: The true blueberries of the genus Vaccinium L., subgenus Cyanococcus Kl, as described by Camp (4), are predominantly a North American group, although some Asiatic species are included. More distantly related groups are found on the Pacific coast, such as V.ovatum Pursh, and in tropical America, Africa and other areas of the world. Additional Vaccinium relatives include the sugenera Polycodium Raf., the deerberries, and Batodendron Nutt, the Farkleberry or Tree or Winter-huckleberry, and the genus Gaylussacia H… Show more

“…Inheritance of observed characters in blueberries was first reported in 1939 (2). A consensus from observation is that certain cultivars transmit desirable characters to offspring with a greater frequency than others (1,3,4,5,6,7). These data indicate that the characteristics listed are inherited quantitatively.…”

“…Darrow (1) tested 'Pecan' rabbiteye from northwest Florida and gave its chilling requirement as between 250 and 360 hr be low 7.2°C. Field and chamber observations in Florida (3,4) In April 1975, rooted cuttings of 'Blue belle', 'Climax', 'Delite', and 'Tifblue' were potted and grown outdoors with containers buried in the soil. Chilling hours were de termined with an elapsed time temperature monitor (set to record time below 7.2°C) and with a calibrated thermograph.…”
