Summary

To assess the impact on berry quality, four treatments were applied to 6 different clones of Maine wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium) during the 1998 field season. Three treatments, 1% calcium chloride, 1% acetic acid, and 1000 microM methyl jasmonate, and the water control were sprayed on the 1 m2 plots twice at 1-week intervals. After harvest, during storage, firmness, anthocyanin leakage, and microbial counts were studied. No treatments were seen to exert any significant effects.
