BACKGROUND: Rabbiteye blueberry(Vaccinium asheiReade) has low nutrient uptake efficiency due to its shallow and fibrous root system without root hairs. This study was carried out to establish an efficient nutrient application standard by investigating the effect of nitrogen fertigation on the growth and fruit characteristics of rabbiteye blueberry. METHODS AND RESULTS: 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberry was treated with 0, 50, 100 and 200% nitrogen fertigation of recommended fertilizer application (6, 9 and 14 g/bush in the first, second and third years, respectively). The results showed that leaf nitrogen content significantly correlated with the fruit weight and fruit yield. However, canopy area, dry weight, sugar and anthocyanin contents did not correlate significantly with the leaf nitrogen content. The leaf and stem dry weights of 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberry during the third year of planting were the highest with 50% nitrogen fertigation (leaf dry weight=723.7 g/bush; stem dry weight=890.7 g/bush). Maximum fruit yield of 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberry (12.9 kg/bush) was observed during the third year of planting with 50% nitrogen fertigation and this was about 70% greater than the treatment that received no nitrogen fertigation. The fruit yields of 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberry during the third year of planting treated with 100 and 200% nitrogen fertigation were 11.0 and 11.5 kg/bush, and these were 17 and 12% lower than the 50% nitrogen fertigation treatment, respectively. Further, the efficiency of nitrogen utilization was the highest (90%) with 50% nitrogen fertigation and lowest (18%) with 200% nitrogen fertigation. CONCLUSION:The results of this study suggests that fertigation with 50% of the recommended fertilizer could be most effective for enhancing the growth and nitrogen use efficiency of rabbiteye blueberry.

“…The nutrient content of manure should be well estimated to determine proper application rates. Nevertheless, the nutrient composition of manure varies depending on the animal species and other variables, such as management and handling, which do not allow homogeneous applications (Kozinski, 2006;Larco, 2010;Larco et al, 2013).…”

“…The highbush blueberry requires specific growing conditions including the right site, high in organic matter, appropriate water and air drainage, low pH, and adequate moisture (Kozinski 2006). On the one hand, this species allows the use of land which as a result of its high acidity is not suitable for other crops (Ciordia et al 2006).…”

“…The application of mulches contributes to the loosening of the higher strata of soil thus improving root penetration (Kozinski 2006). In the USA, cotton by-products, pecan hulls (Krewer et al 2002), leafmould compost, pit-coal ash, sludge from sewage treatment plants (Black et al 2002), and conifer needle litter (Entrop 2000) are used for mulching purposes.…”

Technology, Szczecin, ul. Słowackiego 17, Poland, The aim of a 3-year study was to compare the effect of substrate type (peat, sawdust and cocoa husk) on the yield, fruit quality, general and phenolic composition, and antioxidant activity of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivar Patriot. The largest berries and the highest yield were obtained from bushes grown in sawdust (3.661 kg ha -1 ). Berries from bushes grown in cocoa husk had the highest content of N (14.25 g kg -1 ), P (1.17 g kg -1 ), K (6.51 g kg -1 ), and Zn (8.78 mg kg -1 ), as well as P (1.26 g kg -1 ) and K (6.99 g kg -1 ) in the leaves. Both the leaves and fruits of plants grown in sawdust had higher Cu concentrations (3.89 and 3.01 mg kg -1 ). Berries from sawdust-grown bushes had the highest soluble solids (13.1%) and total sugar (10.80 g 100 g -1 ) content. The fruits obtained from peat-grown bushes exhibited enhanced antioxidant capacity (38.6 µmol Trolox g -1 ). However, the highest levels of phenolics were noted in berries produced in the cocoa husk (208.29 mg 100 g -1 ) and peat-bed system (174.07 mg 100 g -1 ). Regardless of the type of substrate used, the following phenols were identified (in descending order): anthocyanins>chlorogenic acid>flavonols. Delphinidin-glycosides were the most abundant pigments, and cyanidin, peonidin, petunidin, and malvidin-glycosides were also detected. Total flavonol content (quercetin derivatives and kaempferol 3-rutinoside) was not significantly affected by the type of substrate.
