Retamales (U. de Talca, Chile) and Hancock (Michigan State U.) synthesize the current scientific knowledge about blueberries that is scattered broadly in the technical literature. Among their topics are blueberry taxonomy and breeding, growth and development, field management and harvesting, growth regulators, and managing fruit quality before and after harvest. They write primarily for blueberry researchers and students in horticulture, but suggest that the information might also interest growers and people in the industry who want to update their knowledge about the crop.
