Awesome day introducing our ongoing work to Florida blueberry growers Florida Blueberry Growers Association

First time looking at a blueberry bud through a CT-scan. I’m looking forward to sharing our research and more CT images in a upcoming publication! Ed Stanley Gerardo Nunez

📢Congrats to Martin Zapien! His paper related to the work he conducted at UFIFAS_IndianRiverREC for his MSc in UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences has been published in Horticulturae MDPI! More information about the paper can be found here: mdpi.com/2311-7524/8/11… 🍊🍊🍊

Excited to share the final prototype for our root observation window, which will be used to observe & analyze blueberry roots right in the field! The removable acrylic window allows for sampling of roots without excising them from the plant. Gerardo Nunez

“Averages aren’t everything” terrific talk by Josh Vander Weide 🫐🍓 at the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences seminar series.

Why do some 🫐 plants wilt in the middle of the day (even with optimum irrigation)? @ana_s_mata recently started an experiment to find out.

We want to tackle a big question: How does 🫐 photosynthesis scale up from leaves, to branches and whole plants? And we are looking to recruit a Post-Doc to lead the charge. explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5250… Please RT 🔁

Very good fruit (and weird for people who hasn’t seen them).

The undergrad research symposium is one of my favorite days in the semester. We had several posters from the lab! These are the faces of seven awesome young scientist.

Blueberry farming is resource intensive... but maybe it does not have to be? In our recent article, we explored using grafted plants to produce 🫐 in a low-input system. This work was led by Cecilia Rubert Heller and partially supported by Southern SARE

[ESP] En nuestro reciente artículo, utilizamos plantas de arándano 🫐injertadas para producir fruta en un sistema de bajo costo. Este es un proyecto liderado por Cecilia Rubert Heller y parcialmente financiado por Southern SARE

[POR] O cultivo de mirtilos exige muitos recursos... mas talvez não precise. Em nosso último artigo, exploramos o uso de plantas enxertadas para produzir mirtilos em um sistema de baixo consumo. Este trabalho foi liderado mim e parcialmente apoiado pelo Southern SARE

My fellow grad student Cecilia Rubert Heller is setting the baselines to develop more resilient blueberry growing systems. Check it out! 🫐

Exciting update: our root observation boxes are showing blueberry root growth! We'll continue monitoring their development and use them in an experiment to investigate nitrogen uptake and root age. Stay tuned!

It is almost harvest time for our blueberry fields in the Nunez lab! 🫐 Are you ready for some more of Florida grown blueberries?

It was great to meet with PPSystem's at the #ASHS20223 and discuss about the important research we are doing using the #CIRAS!
