Episode 39: Improving blueberry breeding with soil moisture monitoring
Update: 2025-01-07
Description
Growing blueberries is a challenge. Multiple stalks require manual harvest. A thirsty root structure requires large amounts of water. The pine bark mulch spread across the soil conserves irrigation water and added nutrients but comprises a quarter of the growing cost. 2022 G.A. Harris Fellowship recipient and University of Florida horticultural sciences PhD student, Cecilia Heller, has dedicated her studies to tackling this problem. In this episode, Cecilia discusses the challenges and successes she has found with grafting blueberries for climate resilience.
