The effect of NP fertilization on European blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) development on cultivated land in mid-Norway

Abstract: Abstract. BACKGROUND:European blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.; EB) is one of the most common shrubs in Nordic forests. It has been exploited through centuries by man and is considered a valuable food. However, it has not been domesticated and all EB fruit is harvested from forest fields. The investigations reported here were undertaken to examine the possibility of EB domestication. OBJECTIVE: With the aid of knowledge achieved through examinations of EB in natural forests and in cultivated fields of lowbush… Show more

“…Response of lowbush blueberry to N, P, and K fertilization was small. Nevertheless, lowbush blueberry may respond positively to added N and P [ 18 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]. The weak negative response to K fertilization is attributable in part to antagonism between cationic macronutrients [ 69 ].…”

“…The spatial growth of V. myrtillus seedlings has reacted positively to NP fertilization in trials. Additionally, mycorrhiza were established without seeding, and cuttings of fresh shoots rooted nearly 100%, thus enabling reliable and inexpensive propagation [122][123][124][125].…”

“…Mycorrhiza are a dominant factor supporting the roots with necessary plant building elements from the soil. Dark septate endophytes (DSE) have been shown to be important when establishing seedlings of V. myrtillus on cultivated land in Norway [122,125]. The host effect on ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungal communities is minor, and the distributions of host and fungal communities may be assessed on the basis of microhabitat conditions [199].…”

“…There are several methods available for staining ericoid mycorrhizal roots for microscopy, many of which rely on the original paper by Phillips and Hayman [8]. For instance, Koske & Gemma [5], Nestby et al [7], Sadowsky et al [10] and Scagel [12] used modified Phillips & Hayman [8] methods, including clearing of roots in KOH followed by acidification and then staining. As reported by Koske & Gemma [6], the 10% KOH treatment "is harsh and may result in the loss of the cortex from much of the root system".…”
