O＇Neal blueberries harvested in a three-year old orchard having a plantation density of 3,333 plants hal. The marine algae extract was applied in three phenologic phases： full bloom, fruit set and fruit color break. Four treatments were conducted： To, application of pure water （without the product）; T1, a 280 mL ha1 dose per application; T2, a 140 mL ha^-1 dose, equivalent to 50% of the treatment dose T1; and T3, a 420 mL ha^-1 dose, equivalent to a 50% extra than the treatment dose T1. The experimental design comprised sutb-sampling blocks with three repetitions of three uniform and healthy plants per treatment. Regarding the total and average fruit weight, they did not show significant statistical differences, but an increase in the average weight of fruits treated with the aforementioned product was observed. For parameters such as equatorial diameter, caliper and soluble solids of harvested fruit, the product caused a statistically significant increase. T3 was found to be the best treatment with a 15% weight, increasing taste, sugar amount, size and weight of the harvested fruits.展开更多

The foliar application was done twice, on April 24, 2011 and May 25, 2011. The results showed that spraying of potassium at both concentration （0.5% and 1%） or copper at high concentration （0.04%） had a positive effect on leaf area, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, total chlorophyll, fruit weight, fruit number and yield per tree as well as fruit diameter, pith thick, pulp weight, seed weight and total soluble solid. The interaction between potassium and copper significantly enhanced all detected traits, since trees receiving 1% and sprayed with 0.04% of copper was characterized by the highest values of all growth and yield characteristics compared to the lowest values at untreated trees （control）.展开更多
