Poland
8.4
Key Conclusions
Agrolution pHLow increased the blueberry crop total yield by 8.4%, generating an additional €3,075 per ha compared to the grower’s standard practice. In addition, longer first-year shoots suggest a positive effect on the following year’s blueberry yield.
Objective
To evaluate the effect of Agrolution pHLow in comparison with conventional fertilizers on Blueberry crops.

Results
- Due to Agrolution pHLow the plants were better nourished (proved by SPAD measurements) and improved branching was observed with longer first-year shoots, which will positively affect the yield next year.
- Using Agrolution pHLow, extra income of €3,075 per ha was generated compared to grower practice.
- By using Agrolution pHLow, the total yield increased by 8.4%.
