In this video, University of Maine Cooperative Extension's Wild Blueberry Specialist Lily Calderwood covers practical weed management strategies for both conventional and organic wild blueberry growers, including identifying common weeds and understanding their growth habits, scouting fields, creating weed maps, and using field history to guide management decisions. You will also learn how pruning, sulfur applications, and other cultural, mechanical, and chemical management practices can be used to manage weeds throughout the production cycle.
