Here is a book that sets forth vital information growers need to
produce highbush blueberries effectively and efficiently. Written
from the grower's point of view, The Highbush Blueberry and Its
Management presents technical information in a highly readable
manner that is easy to understand. It helps growers make proper
decisions before they plant--saving them both time and money.
Simply by following the directions on planting, a grower could cut
his post-plant mortality rate to less than ten-percent. The
Highbush Blueberry and Its Management provides detailed information
that growers can apply directly to their work. The author addresses
various aspects of blueberry management, including how to select
new cultivars, pruning techniques, soil preparation and management,
harvesting, pest control, and marketing. He describes over
four-dozen cultivars and discusses blueberry growth and
development, fruit production, propagation, and more. The problem
of pests such as birds, nematodes, and insects and mites is
addressed and strategies for control of these pests are included.
An appendix provides a chart, the first of its kind, to help
diagnose disorders of highbush blueberries. The chart contains
descriptions and discussions of these disorders to help growers
identify and treat them quickly and effectively. Appendixes also
include handy tables, equivalence charts, and calculations for fast
and easy reference. An overview of world production of highbush
blueberries informs readers of developments in other countries.
This thorough and readable book is sure to become a trusted guide
for growers of highbush blueberries worldwide.The book is
international in scope and contains information useful to growers
from Australia and Japan to Chile, Poland, and Finland, places
where such information is often scarce, if available at all.
Bursting with practical, helpful knowledge, The Highbush Blueberry
and Its Management is a vital guidebook not just for professional
growers, but for cooperative extension personnel and
university-level small fruit researchers as well. With its readable
style, it can also be used as an ancillary text at the graduate and
advanced undergraduate level.
