Abstract:
North Carolina ranks third in the U.S. commercial blueberry production by acreage, and the cultivated fruit crop may become even more important. In 1955, blueberries yielded an estimated $11 million and were marketed as fresh, canned and frozen. Agriculturists are now working to select and breed superior varieties to provide not only a better market product but also hybrid varieties that are drought resistant and useful in erosion control.
