Blueberry Peat

• It is at the low Ph (5-acidic) level required for the growth of blueberry saplings. For this reason, it can only be used for blueberry.
• It contains smart fertilizer that accelerates plant development (it dissolves by itself for 6 months).
• It does not contain any chemicals.
• Specially blended, suitable for general use indoors and outdoors.
• It has a high water holding capacity, is odorless and 100% natural.
• It nourishes the soil and the plant for a long time.

Blueberry Blueberry is a favorite of sweet-sour lovers with its sour taste among dark forest fruits. It is a delicious fruit with small grains, thin peel and almost no seeds.

In addition to its unique taste, you will always have this dark forest fruit, which is rich in vitamins, and you will not be able to get enough of it.

Terms

Blueberries like organic matter rich and acidic soils. Natural habitats or places close to these should be preferred for aquaculture.

Blueberry is a plant with a very large surface root structure. Depending on the soil type, its roots can go 1 meter deep. The roots, which serve as the main task, are located in the upper 25-30 cm of the soil layer.

At least 6 months before the blueberry seedlings are planted, the garden soil should be analyzed and sulfur should be applied 6 months in advance if necessary to adjust the pH. If the soil pH is above 5.5, the soil acidity can be changed by applying sulfur. It is not possible to make calcareous soils suitable for blueberry cultivation with sulfur application. If the pH value of the soil to be planted is below 3.7, then liming may be recommended. The optimum pH value for blueberries in the form of tall bushes is between 4.0-5.2 and the optimum pH value is 4.5. In cases where the pH value of the soil in the blueberry orchard is high, iron and zinc deficiency occur and this event affects the newly developing organs and causes the plant to lose its vigor.

Planting, Spacing and Distances

Planting can be done in the spring, depending on the winter cold and possibly frost in the region. Saplings should be planted as deep as they are in the nursery or pot. Deep planting should not be done. After planting, 60-120 cm wide and 15-20 cm thick mating should be done along the row.

In countries where blueberry cultivation is carried out, the planting distance is 120 cm on the row and 300 cm between the rows, and this spacing and distances can be increased up to 150 and 300 cm. In the blueberry grower, the distance between the rows of blueberries should not be less than 250 cm. This distance is necessary for the workers to work comfortably during the harvest.

Due to the lack of sun in the Eastern Black Sea region, in order for the fruits to benefit from sunlight, the distance between the rows should be at least 150 cm, and the distance between the rows should be between 200 cm - 250 cm. It is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the rows in the south-east direction. This planting method is recommended in order to allow sunlight to enter between the rows.

This number can be planted between 250-300 seedlings on 1 decare of land, depending on the structure of the field and the formation of sets in the field.

Fertilization

In order to get the expected result from blueberry cultivation, fertilizing should be done frequently but little by little. The blueberry plant is damaged by over-fertilization or may even die. In this regard, the most ideal is to give fertilizer little by little at the beginning and to increase the amount of fertilizer depending on the type of fertilizer used and the soil structure as long as you have experience in farming. Blueberries are extremely sensitive to easily soluble and liquid fertilizers. Fertilizers should not be given in such a way as to concentrate on a certain point in the root zone of the plant. Fertilizers containing nitrogen in the form of nitrates should never be given to blueberries. Urea, sulfur-coated urea and ammonium sulfate are suitable fertilizers.

When planting blueberry seedlings, no commercial fertilizer is placed in the planting pit. 30 g of 12-4-8 fertilizer containing 2% magnesium per plant after the soil is compacted by irrigation or raining after planting. is given. Nitrogen should be used in the form of urea, organic origin or ammonia. In the first years, if the irrigation is excessive and the drainage is good, slowly dissolving nitrogenous fertilizers should be preferred. Fertilizer should be given to the incision opened 60 cm from the root of the plant. This process is repeated in April, June, September and August. If the materials used for mulching are both used in large quantities and laid thickly, 30 g per plant. instead of 45 g. fertilizer should be given. In the second year, 60 g of 12-4-8 fertilizer per plant is applied to the circular line 1 m away from the bottom of the plant. fertilization is done. In the third and later years, 90 g per plant, by applying it to the circular incision made at a distance of 120 cm from the bottom of the plant or to the band opened at a distance of 90-120 cm from the plants.
