Effect of Source and Rate of N and Mg on Nutrient Levels in Highbush Blueberry Leaves and Fruit1

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: In a field experiment with the cultivar ‘Bluecrop’, N and K levels in leaves and fruit increased but Ca levels decreased as rate of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , urea, or NH 4 NO 3 increased. There were no differences due to source of N. In a 3-year period application of a total of 5.07 oz/bush of MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O had no effect on Mg levels in leaves or fruit.
