Blueberry, autumn and spring treatments
Hello.
I have around 400 blueberries, the dominant variety being Eliot, which were transplanted into pots in February. After I planted them in pots I applied a rooting stimulator through a drip irrigation system for the first 2-3 weeks then NPK after which I applied foliarly a funcicide + an insecticide (the treatment was carried out by spraying then a 7 day break, then another spraying and then a 14 day break – I repeated this until mid May) until the fruit started to form, then I didn’t apply anything else foliarly, only NPK through a drip irrigation system. But my plants made many small fruits, and very few leaves.
Now that I have finished harvesting I would like to start using something else to strengthen the plants and help them regenerate so that next year they form a richer bush.
The plants are about 10 years old and have been moved from one village to another and I know that this stress has affected them.
What can you recommend me for the autumn treatment and what should I use in the spring.
The pictures I put are from when I transplanted them up until fruiting.
ThanksAttachments:

Hello! The reduced fruit size was most likely caused by the stress of moving the plants. After transplanting, the plant concentrates more on root development at the expense of fruiting, but after a while, the plants adapt.
During this period, it is recommended to apply a fertilizer such as Fertilizer 0-0-40 Azet HerbstKali, 2 kg, which increases the resistance to frost and to the other capricious winter conditions. Spread it around the plants, incorporate it into the soil, then water it thoroughly (recommended dose is 20-30 g/m²).
This autumn, it is recommended to start treatments specific to woody plants during the dormancy period (after leaf fall) with copper fungicides such as Bouillie Bordelaise WDG, 50 g (50 g/ 10l water) or Champ 77 WG, 20 g (20 g dose/ 10l water) and to apply a horticultural oil such as Ovipron Top, 1 litre, Mospilan Oil 20 SG 10, 3 g + 50 ml, or Estiuoil, 500 ml – these treatments are used to control some pests that may be in hibernation.
Before carrying out the treatments, it is recommended to clean up the crop (by pruning, removing old branches, collecting plant debris, etc.).
Regarding the fertilizer, a balanced NPK complex can be applied annually, with added microelements by a drip irrigation system (or by incorporation into the soil, depending on the product), in stages throughout the growing season. Foliar fertilization with specific products can also be applied.
For the stimulation and healthy growth of blueberries in spring, it is recommended to apply a fertilizer such as Manna Bio Orgalong, 5 kg, Soil Activator Manna Bio Bodenaktivator, 5 kg or Recharge, 250 g, applied according to the information on the package.
And through foliar spraying, you can opt for: AMN Powerfertiliser, 500 ml, at the recommended dose of 2-6ml/1L water at 1-4 week intervals or AMN Fusek, 500 ml, applied every 2-4 weeks, dissolving 4 ml-12 ml concentrated solution in 1 L water.
Concerning the treatments during the growing season, at the moment, we do not have enough products in our catalogue to create a treatment scheme, but if you notice pests or symptoms of a disease, please send us a message with photos.
More information and care tips can be found in our articles: Blueberry, planting, growing and harvesting and Blueberry treatments, pest and disease control.-

Recommended articlesBlueberry, planting, growing and harvestingBlueberry, planting this shrub, care works and pruning guide, fertilization, optimal harvest time, recommended treatments, from ArmuroBlueberry treatments, pest and disease controlTreatments to control diseases and pests in Blueberry, with approved fungicides and insecticides, integrated pest management, from Armuro.LmLates mihai23 October 2023But what to do to make them grow more leaves next yea – I had a problem with this as well. The plants are almost bare and the leaves that have formed are very small. Plus very few plants have sprouted new shoots. It’s all because of transplanting (what leaves you see in that picture are everything that has kept the plants alive so far, and they haven’t grown in size either).
Thanks for the other adviceAttachments:
You must apply fertilizers and follow the fertilization plan mentioned above.
