Table 2.
pH of fertilizer, soil, foliar, and blueberry fruit samples in 2017–2018.
| Fertilizer treatment | Fertilizer | Soil | Foliar | Fruit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CON | / | 4.69 ± 0.07 | 6.05 ± 0.01 | 3.51 ± 0.03 |
| AS1 | 1.77 ± 0.00 | 4.65 ± 0.12 | ||
| AS2 | 1.77 ± 0.00 | 4.75 ± 0.10 |
Data are represented as mean ± SEM, n = 12, 6 and 32 for fertilizer, foliar or fruit and soil, respectively. The pH of soil was averaged from pH of soil samples collected at March (pre-fertilizer application), April (post-fertilizer application), June and August of each production season, four samples per sampling points, thus a total of 32 samples. /, not measured; CON, standard fertilization; AS1, manure-derived ammonium sulfate; AS2, manure-derived ammonium sulfate applied in split applications.
