Abstract: In 2004-2006, an experiment was established at the Experimental Station Rajkowo belonging to the Agricultural University (West Pomeranian University of Technology) in Szczecin. High blueberry bushes were planted in an alkaline reaction (pH 7.1) heavy soil using three different substrates. The bushes were planted in trenches filled with peat, cocoa husk and sawdust. The fertilization of the plants was limited to a sole nitrogen supply (30 kg N ha -1 ), because chemical analyses of both the soil and the substrat… Show more

“…According to Bal's recommendations (1997), the optimal N content in the leaves should be higher than 2.25%. In other studies, the nitrogen content in the leaves of several highbush blueberry cultivars (Ochmian et al, 2009;Ochmian, 2012;Leitzke et al, 2015), and also of blueberry bushes from an organic plantation in optimal habitat conditions (Strik and Vance, 2015), was also below the optimal level. In the research conducted in Canada by Burkhard et al (2009), the nitrogen content in the fruit of the cultivar 'Duke' was variable over the years and depended on the cultivation method (mulch application), but it did not exceed 1.52%.…”

“…Also, other kinds of less suitable soils can be adapted to cultivating highbush blueberry. Usually, their pH must be changed by using soil sulphurization (Komosa, 2007) or by enriching the soil with acidic peat or sawdust from coniferous trees (Ochmian et al, 2009).…”

“…Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruits have a unique aromatic taste and a wealth of valuable nutrients (Mazza 2005;Skupień 2006;Ochmian et al 2009). The nutritional qualities of the berries are attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds (Joseph et al 2005;Yi et al 2006;Zafra-Stone et al 2007;Krikorian et al 2010).…”

“…The USA, Canada, and Poland are countries where highbush blueberries are widely cultivated, therefore advanced experience has been accumulated there. The researchers from these countries (Haynes & Swift, 1985;Sanderson, Carterl, & Ivany, 1995;Ochmian, Grajkowski, Mikiciuk, Ostrowska, & Chelpinski, 2009) consider that the optimal soil reaction pH KCl for highbush blueberries is 4.2-4.8. In very low pH KCl environment (lower than 3.4), plants suffer from Ca deficiency; if reaction becomes less acid (pH KCl 3.4-3.8), plants gradually recover but productivity (yield of berries) is very low (Hart, Strik, White, & Yang, 2006;Hancock, 2009).…”
