Bird Control in Blueberries
In field trials conducted at a university experimental
farm in Washington state, Bird Shield™ was found
to be effective for controlling birds in high bush blueberries.
In these trials a 1% solution of Bird Shield™ in
water was applied at 7 day intervals beginning when the crop began
to ripen. This reduced damage as much as 96% and extended harvest
by two weeks. |

Researchers used a “rolling
harvest” method of picking. With this method, each field was
divided into an A, B and C area. Area A is treated, then two days
later area B, and two days after this, area C. Each area is then picked
and re-treated in turn, throughout the season. The results were an
increase in production of 31% for the Jersey’s and 36% for the
Pemberton’s. |

Similar results are expected
on all berry types if similarly treated. |
