Abstract:Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) is an ammophilous plant grown on acid soils (pH 4.0 -5.5). Elemental sulfur is commonly applied at a recommended rate of 1120 kg S ha −1 per pH unit to acidify cranberry soils, potentially impacting the plant mineral nutrition. The general recommendation may not fit all conditions encountered in the field. Our objective was to develop an equation to predict the sulfur requirement to reach pH water of 4.2 to tackle nitrification in acidic cranberry soils varying in initial… Show more
