8 Ways To Improve Internal Drainage

摘要

THE root systems of blueberry plants are very different than those of other fruit crops, says Gary Gao, Extension specialist and associate professor of small fruits with The Ohio State University."Most plants use root hairs to take up water and nutrients. Blueberries don't really have any root hairs — they just have smaller and finer roots," he says.The way blueberry plants absorb water and nutrients is very inefficient and getting good internal drainage can be problematic for growers. Poor drainage can lead to phytophthora root rot.
