Berry crops occupy a special place in crop production, requiring deep knowledge of both their biological characteristics and cultivation technologies. To successfully obtain a harvest, agronomists and gardeners must consider many factors: from the hereditary potential of cultivars and the biochemical composition of the fruit to the conditions of soil nutrition and the climatic regime in greenhouses. Understanding the mechanisms of plant regeneration and nutrition allows not only to increase the productivity of plantings but also to improve the quality characteristics of the products.
This selection presents articles covering the full cycle of working with fruit and berry plants. Readers will find here detailed guides on vegetative propagation by cuttings and layering, as well as practical recommendations on the agrotechnics of cultivating cranberries, lingonberries, and blueberries. Special attention is paid to issues of mineral nutrition, including strategies for fertilizer application taking into account agrochemical soil indicators and the specifics of using modern compositions. In addition, the materials will help to understand the characteristics of specialized soil and care methods that ensure stable development of crops and a high content of biologically active substances in them.
