If you have started Blueberry Cultivation inside the tunnel please, remember the fungus in the tip of the blueberry plants occurs when the temperatures are cool with high humidity or low light conditions with high humidity so make sure your good aerated tunnel or free air flow should be there...

Blueberries have successfully started growing in India with correct cultivation practice. I am extremely happy with this. Within 2-4 years the majority of these plants will have 4 to 6 stems 1 meter and taller with many fruits.These plants are a great indication for the future of the berry industry.

Below are the plants that have started fruiting and comments are given for improvement.

This plant is small. It would be best to remove 100% of the fruits to let the plant grow stronger roots and vegetative growth. Misty produces fruit too early in age, very typical.

Remove all fruit that is developed at the base of the plant

Beautiful berries

If vegetative basal growth appears during and after fruiting, cut the fruiting branch back below the first developed fruit after the fruits are harvested.

This is a tall plant. Remove only the older growth at the base of the plant and prune any weak growth along the stem.

The plant is small. Remove all fruits that are growing on the lower portion of the plants. This will be approximately 50% removal of total fruit from what I can observe.

Remove basal growth and 50% of the fruit and flowers starting at the base.

There are too many fruit for this small plant. Remove 50% of the fruit beginning at the base of the plant. Prune horizontal growth and short basal growth.

As of now we have experienced more fungal problems due to high humidity which is taken care of by copper and sulfur applications. Root rooting is seem sometimes due to bad soil which is not well draining..rest is doing well...
