Here growers had an opportunity to see the positive effects of sanding on a bog where cranberry vine dieback had become a problem. Sanding appeared to be a solution to the problem, since vines were reestablishing themselves in areas where a 1-inch application of sand was applied in the spring of 1985. The value of the slow release fertilizer, osmocote, in establishing a new bog, coupled with additional fertilizer appli- cations made in 1985 and 1986, were apparent in a bog started from cuttings (Crowley, Ben Lear and variety #35) planted in 1984. The bog illustrated that stem and leaf protection in new bogs is enhanced by controlled applications of fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. CRANBERRIES advertisers get good results.
