I received a call from a beginning blueberry producer. Her plants, still in the pots and intended for commercial blueberry production, were not doing well. The symptoms were consistent with salinity stress. Determined that the nursery from which she and her husband had bought the plants had recommended a fertilizer material, and rate of that material, that was causing the salinity problem. Daniel Becker had first diagnosed the salinity problem and she called me to confirm. They have been putting extra water through the pots to remove the excess salts. She knows that some of the plants will not recover, but feels good that they are now on the right path towards their desire to have a small blueberry farm.
