Nutrient management of blackberry cultivars grown in organic production systems

Creator:

Fernandez-Salvador, Javier A.

Abstract:

The impact of fertilizer source and cultivar on growth, fruit quality, and yield was evaluated in organic blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus Watson) from 2011-2013 in three studies. In all studies, plants were drip irrigated, and weeds were managed using a woven polypropylene, permeable landscape fabric (weed mat). At a...

Primocane-fruiting blackberries : the effect of summer-pruning, tipping, and chilling on primocane morphology, fruiting season, and yield

Creator:

Thompson, Ellen

Abstract:

The effect of primocane management on flowering and fruiting patterns was studied in primocane-fruiting blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus, Watson) cultivars 'Prime-Jan'® and 'Prime-Jim'® over two years. Primocanes that were "soft-tipped" (upper 2-5 cm removed) at 1.0 m were compared to un-tipped canes. In both years, soft-tipped primocanes developed 2-3 fold...
