Grow Tubes Reduce Root and Crown Growth but Not Early Production during Establishment of Highbush Blueberry

Creator:

Strik, Bernadine C., Buller, Gil, and Tarara, Julie M.

Abstract:

Grow tubes are sometimes used in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) to establish plantings or replace dead plants in older fields. Two experiments were conducted at a commercial farm to evaluate the effect of various grow tubes used during planting establishment of highbush blueberry cultivars. The treatments in the first experiment...

Grow Tubes Change Microclimate and Bush Architecture but Have Little Effect on Bush Biomass Allocation at the End of the Establishment Year in Blueberry

Creator:

Tarara, Julie M., Chaves, Bernardo, and Strik, Bernadine C.

Abstract:

Microclimate variables were integrated over a 6-month period during which blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum cv. Liberty) bushes were grown in 51-cm high, 20-cm diameter round grow tubes (opaque or translucent) on a sawdust mulch-covered raised bed with the mulch incorporated into tilled soil. Grow tubes were installed around plants in the...
