Blueberry leaves browning rapidly

8 years ago






After having trouble with insufficient acidity in my soil last year I decided to transplant all my bushes to 10-15 gallon buckets, using a mixture of roughly half premoistened peat and half pine bark mulch. They all seemed to like it fine, and came out strong and green after spending much of the winter in a garage with no climate control.


Last week I noticed some yellowing between veins beginning on some of them so I sprinkled some ammonium sulfate on the surface of the soil and watered it in. I’ve been watering every 2-3 days (when there is no rain). I applied more Ammonium sulfate a few days later as the yellowing appeared to be getting worse. Then a few days ago I noticed a number of leaves on two plants (which had been off to themselves, close to each other) began turning brown. This seems to be happening very rapidly and I’m not sure if it’s a mineral deficiency (potassium maybe?) or some kind of disease, or some other issue. Please take a look and let me know what you think. The affected varieties are Elliot and legacy. I noticed it first in the Elliot and moved it thinking it may be a disease, and that one is worse off.
