“…Data collection on the different treatments water usage (L), number of leaves and number of branches, and plant height (cm) were recorded over a period of fourteen weeks after transplanting during the growing season of 2022/2023. The electrical conductivity (EC) for monitoring the salinity of the media and pH was recorded weekly after transplanting [14]. Data collection on water usage of each treatment was recorded using DFM [15] moisture probes on a daily basis and application was done as per FC replenishment requirement.…”

Water scarcity is of great concern because this natural resource is critical in primary agriculture worldwide. The anticipated rise in temperature due to climate change will increase the water demand of plants, thereby reducing water availability. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of irrigation requirements on blueberry plants cultivated in different growing media. A pot experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design that was replicated five times. The following growing media were used: coir, mushroom compost, peat moss, and zeolite. The growing medium significantly (P<0.05) affected the irrigation water of blueberry plants. The treatment with 100% coir required the most irrigation replenishment compared with the other treatments. The treatment with 80% coir and 20% zeolite required the least water replenishment. Generally, the vegetative parameters were improved with 60% coir and 40% peat moss. The composition of the growing media can potentially reduce the water requirements of plants.

The mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum) is characterized by its high content of polyphenols and anthocyanins, as well as high antioxidant activity. This research analyzed the effect of drying (convection drying and lyophilization) together with the degree of ripeness (50% and 100%) on the fruit’s antioxidant properties. Additionally, a sensory evaluation of an infusion prepared with the dried product was conducted. The treatment consisting of lyophilization and 100% ripeness had the highest values for polyphenols and anthocyanins, 4733.50 mg of gallic acid/100 g DW and 778.70 mg of cyanidin 3-glucoside chloride / 100 g DW, respectively. The ascorbic acid content was highest in the treatment with lyophilization and 50% ripeness, with 69.50 mg / 100 g DW. The antioxidant activity for the treatments with 100% ripeness had similar results for convection drying and lyophilization, 87.28 and 88.62 mmol TE / kg DW, respectively. An infusion was made from the dried mortiño product and subjected to a sensory evaluation from a panel of tasters. The samples with 100% ripeness, regardless of the drying method, received a “Like very much” qualification for color, aroma, and taste attributes. Testing for antioxidant activity, it was found that between 2.5 to 3.5 % of the original antioxidant content is transferred to the infusion. The findings suggest that mortiño can be used in the preparation of an infusion with functional properties, creating an opportunity for the local communities of venturing into this crop for industrial purposes.

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries have expanded into non-traditional growing areas worldwide. In recent years, the berry production system has changed to cultivation in substrate and pots and this alternative system has shown the potential to produce high yields of high-quality berries. The quality of the substrate and the parameters of the pot are known to influence plant growth and fruit production. Many authors have evaluated the composition of the growing media and the size of the container with the aim of optimizing the appropriate growing conditions that affect the plant growth and berry yield. The physical characteristics of the substrate play a special role in berry cultivation; then, a good substrate should be of high quality, in order to provide the plant root system with the adequate environment to develop. The management of water irrigation and nutrient contents during berry production in substrates has a great importance on the yield and quality of fruits. Thus, suitable irrigation systems and a fertilizer solution containing all the essential nutrients are essential for yield and high-quality berries. In this perspective, the objective of this chapter is to present the equipment and practices used for the cultivation of berries in substrate.
