In a 6-yr field study with highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) the incorporation of raw sawdust or peat with the soil, plus surface-applied fertilizer, did not increase yields, bush size, or vigor. Control bushes were more vigorous, produced higher yields with larger fruit, and usually had lower levels of all nutrients, Ca excepted, than those receiving the other treatments even though the differences were not generally significant at the 5% level. Regression equations revealed that leaf Ca, bush size, and winter injury were the most important variables associated with yields, whereas fruit size was most closely related to leaf Ca, Mg, and N.
