(ACGA) at the New Hedger House, Chatsworth, Enumerating causes for the projected 19,000 barrel decline in the 1981 New Jersey cranberry harvest, Marucci said April frosts, nine days with temperatures close to IQO degrees during the polli- nation period, and, most importantly, a drought during the growing season were last year's culprits. Use of sprinklers on the Blueberry/Cranberry Research Center bogs in Chatsworth during days with 95 degree temperatures in the shade prevented blossom blasting and heat damage to vines, he added. The Research Center's 1981 commercial yield was the highest ever, substantiating Marucci's hypothesis that overhead irrigation during extremely hot periods of the flowering season prevents crop damage.
