Abstract

The effects of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilizers on fruit qualities of blueberry 'Legacy' were studied. A field experiment was conducted using randomized block design. The results showed that the fruit weight and total soluble solids content of blueberry were significantly increased by fertilizations. The water content of Treatment 3(T3), T5 and T6 declined by 9.45%, 10.67% and 13.44% respectively compared with control. In general, T3 and T6 showed higher levels of vitamin C content. T3 was the best treatment in terms of soluble sugar content. The results of double factor variance analysis showed that he optimum fertilization combination was 45g/tree of N and 30g/tree of K₂O.
