LOWBUSH BLUEBERRY PRODUCTION IN EASTERN CANADA AS RELATED TO CERTAIN WEATHER DATA

Production of lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait. and V. myrtilloides Michx.) was found to be significantly correlated with June rain in Newfoundland and with June sunshine and temperature in Nova Scotia. When the data were combined for five provinces over 27 yr, no variables were of consistent value in predicting lowbush blueberry production.
