摘要

The main aim of blueberry production in South Africa is to produce export quality fresh fruit. That is supplied to Europe during their winter. South Africa has a climate at high altitudes suitable for the production of southern highbush and rabbiteye blueberry types. The largest area with the appropriate climate for rabbiteye blueberry production is on the eastern highveld and high altitude areas of the eastern and western Cape. The eastern highveld has a mean annual temperature of 57.9 deg F (14.4deg C), and mean winter minimum/maximum temperatures of 36.3/65.1 deg F (2.4/18.4 deg C), respectively. This area accumulates 500 to 550 chilling units below 44.6 deg F (7 deg C). More than 550 chilling units accumulate in the mountains of the Eastern Cape and in the cold "bokkeveld." The average summer minimum/maximum temperatures of 46.8/73.8 deg F (8.2/23.2 deg C) are close to optimal temperatures reported for blueberry production. Soils with a low clay content and pH of 3.5-4.5 developed in the high rainfall areas on the highveld. Organic matter is available to improve the soil for blueberry production. The occurrence of hail on the highveld necessitates the use of hail netting in blueberry plantings. Competitors of South Africa for blueberry exports are Australasia, South American, and Mediterranean countries. It should be possible to develop an early temporal niche market for fresh fruit export with their cultivation of southern highbush and early fruiting rabbiteye cultivars.
