Tb203: Recent Advances In The Biology And Genetics Of Lowbush Blueberry, Daniel J. Bell, Lisa J. Rowland, John Smagula, Frank Drummond
Technical Bulletins
For lowbush blueberries, this publication presents an in-depth look at the biology and genetics of lowbush blueberry. The authors provide details on its genetic composition and the outline the usefulness of various biochemical, genomic, and other markers in studying the plants genetic structure. The authors also provide an overview of the plant’s economic value to Maine, nutritional value, and its life history.

B852: Organic Wild Blueberry Production, Frank Drummond, John Smagula, Seanna Annis, David Yarborough
Bulletins
Recent research carried out under the auspices of a USDA organic transition grant resulted in a better understanding of the interaction of wild blueberry production tactics such as pruning method, soil pH reduction by sulfur (S) application, and organic fertilizer rates on wild blueberry growth, development, and yield. This bulletin is the product of what we have learned over the past four years of this research project.
Mp759: Grower Survey Of Organic Pest Management Practices For Wild Blueberries In Maine With Case Studies, Andrew C. Files, David Yarborough, Frank Drummond
Mp759: Grower Survey Of Organic Pest Management Practices For Wild Blueberries In Maine With Case Studies, Andrew C. Files, David Yarborough, Frank Drummond
Miscellaneous Publications
This report describes the results of a survey of all known organic blueberry growers in Maine conducted in December 2006. The survey included questions ranging from acreage owned and/or managed to market outlets to pruning techniques to education level of grower to methods of learning new information and was part of a larger, interdisciplinary project addressing organic pest-management strategies for lowbush blueberries.
Mr415: Why Not Tame The Wild Blueberry, Walter Litten, John M. Smagula
Mr415: Why Not Tame The Wild Blueberry, Walter Litten, John M. Smagula
Miscellaneous Reports
A discussion of two studies of different methods of propagating lowbush blueberry plants. These methods could be used for introducing blueberry plants into existing fields to improve field cover, or to start a blueberry field from scratch.

Tb70: Physical And Chemical Changes Associated With The Development Of The Lowbush Blueberry Fruit Vaccinium Angustifolium Ait., Amr A. Ismail, Walter J. Kender
Technical Bulletins
The objective of this investigation was to determine the growth characteristics, changes in the soluble solids, pH, and titratable acidity for the purpose of defining and describing stages in the growth of the blueberry fruit.
Tb64: Low Temperature Injury To Apple Trees In Maine, M. T. Hilborn, W. C. Stiles
Tb64: Low Temperature Injury To Apple Trees In Maine, M. T. Hilborn, W. C. Stiles
Technical Bulletins
This technical bulletin presents an overview of low temperature injury to apple trees. They describe the winter killing of apple trees in Maine in 1933-34 and describe hardy trunk forming stocks. They also report on a trial orchard at Highmoor Farm for trunk-forming stock and the influence of stock-scion combination on hardiness. They end with five recommendations for apple growers.
