| Abstract:
Two field studies comparing the effects of soil fumigation, mulching, incorporated organic matter, and fertilizer treatments applied to 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberry plants were established on a Fluventic Dystrochrept soil in middle Mississippi. Soil fumigation, mulching, and organic matter incorporated in the planting hole increased plant vigor and reduced chlorosis symptoms. Fertilization in general, was detrimental to the vigor of young plants. Chlorosis symptoms were increased by fertilization. | |
