Current and next-year cranberry yields predicted from local features and carryover effects.

Wisconsin and Quebec are the world leading cranberry-producing regions. Cranberries are grown in acidic, naturally low-fertility sandy beds. Cranberry fertilization is guided by general soil and tissue nutrient tests in addition to yield target and vegetative biomass. However, other factors such as...

Current and next-year cranberry yields predicted from local features and carryover effects.
