Highbush blueberry culture is limited primarily to low pH coarse-textured soils high in organic matter. Lowbush blueberry species are used in U.S. breeding programs for the improvement of several characters including adaptation to a broader range of soil physical and chemical properties. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of various levels of lowbush ancestry on the mineral nutrition of progeny plants. The crosses had lowbush ancestry levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. Recently matured leaves on 8-year-old plants were sampled during the middle of the fruiting season. |
