“…The planting method, as rows versus pots, had no effects on plant volume of the 'Duke' and 'Brigitta' cultivars (Table 1). However, 'Aurora' responded positively to pot production (72.78 dm 3 ), where the plant volume was significantly higher compared to the plants grown in the ridge (61.99 dm 3 ). For the ridge production, 'Brigitta' had the highest plant volume, followed by 'Aurora' and 'Duke'.…”

“…Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was domesticated in the 19th century in Florida and New England. For their optimal yield and vegetative growth, these plants need to be provided with low substrate pH (4.5-5.5), high organic matter (7%-10%) and good drainage [1][2][3]. Maintaining those three requirements at optimal levels can be challenging for growers, due to the great diversity seen for soil properties.…”

Due to the specific requirements for low soil pH, new production methods are being introduced for highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Planting in pots has gained popularity in recent years due to the easier control of the substrate pH. This study was carried out on 2-year-old ‘Duke’, ‘Aurora’ and ‘Brigitta’ cultivar blueberry plants that were planted along a ridge or in pots. The substrate temperature reached higher values for the pots, while the substrate water content was higher for the ridge. In the ‘Duke’ and ‘Aurora’ plants, significantly higher sugar/organic acid ratios were obtained for fruit from the ridge. However, significantly higher fruit total phenolics content, greater plant volumes and lower yields per plant were obtained for ‘Aurora’ as potted plants compared to the ridge. The ‘Brigitta’ fruit harvested from potted plants had significantly higher total organic acid content; however, no significant difference was seen for the sugar/organic acid ratio between the conditions. This study is the first to compare the responses of different highbush blueberry cultivars in terms of production on a ridge and in pots, and the impact on the substrate microclimatic conditions, plant volume and fruit yield and primary and secondary metabolites content.

“…Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit is considered one of most popular fruit species among consumers due to its recognizable taste and high nutrient content [1]. On the other hand, it is highly perishable, since its fruit quality parameters and visual appearance are preserved at a high level for only 20 days when stored at 0 • C at 90% to 95% relative humidity [2].…”

Short-term modified-atmosphere storage with an adjusted CO2 and/or O2 concentration could recover blueberry fruit infested with the larvae of quarantine pests. However, this could significantly affect the fruit quality. In our experiment we investigated the performance of highbush blueberry ‘Bluecrop’ fruit (firmness, peel color, individual phenolics, sugars, and organic acids) under four short-term storage regimes: (1) a regular atmosphere with 0.03% CO2, 21% O2, and 78% N2 at 22 °C, i.e., the control; (2) a regular atmosphere with 0.03% CO2, 21% O2, and 78% N2 at 2 °C; (3) a modified atmosphere with 10% CO2, 5% O2, and 85% N2 at 2 °C; and (4) a modified atmosphere with 100% CO2 at 2 °C. Fruit sampling took place after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. Fruit firmness was not significantly altered by storage regime or duration, while some significant, but minor, changes were detected in the color parameters. Regarding the primary metabolites, the sugar/organic acid ratio stagnated in the first 48 h in all storage regimes. The content of the majority of the individual phenolics was significantly higher in the fruit stored under control conditions. From our results, we can conclude that the short-term storage of highbush blueberry ‘Bluecrop’ fruit for 24 h in a cold atmosphere does not affect the phenolic content, and storage for 48 h does not affect the total sugar/organic acid ratio, regardless of the atmosphere composition.

“…Because of its popularity and usefulness, this crop has been started cultivated worldwide recently [10]. For the growth of these plants, low substrate pH, high organic matter, and good drainage are needed [11][12][13]. Also, each cultivation region has a different environment; various cultivation strategies have been applied to adapt to each environmental condition.…”

In the smart farm, we can control every detail for production. Collecting every factor that affects the crop's final yield is necessary to optimize its efficiency. The SPAD values were observed in the 'Star' cultivar blueberry (Vaccinium darrowii) three times a day and at three different plant heights. The pattern of SPAD value change was different by the planting position. Ground planted blueberry (V. darrowii) represented a stable SPAD value during the day and at the different heights. However, the SPAD value was increased by time in pot-planted blueberry (V. darrowii). Also, the SPAD value of pot-planted blueberry was lower than ground planted blueberry (V. darrowii). Even when plants were of the same cultivar and age, planting conditions affected the changing pattern of SPAD in a day. Each planting condition had merit. Therefore, proper management is needed to compensate SPAD value in pot-planted blueberry (V. darrowii). This study suggests that environmental conditions like planting factors affect the final products. Therefore, to maximize the efficiency at the smart farm, the factors that could affect the final yield should be investigated and accumulated.
