This study in Maine wild blueberry fields found that compost and compost-plus-biochar applications improved soil nutrient levels (boron, calcium, magnesium, potassium) and increased soil moisture by up to 12 percentage points during dry periods. Foliar nutrient levels also increased, though no yield changes were observed in 2024. The results suggest that compost and biochar enhance soil fertility and water retention, supporting climate-resilient management in low-input perennial systems.
