Establishment of Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivars and Suppression of Phytophthora Root Rot Using Cover Crop and Soil Amendment Treatments

Phytophthora root rot is a major disease of blueberry that relies on cultural practices, including soil amendments, for disease management. We evaluated the effect of three cover crops on the establishment and growth of southern highbush blueberry (SHB) plants and on their ability to suppress Phytop...
