or the success of the blueberry culture, certain conditions are necessary to be fulfilled, especially the soil reaction which must be acid (pH=4,5-5,5), the soil must be properly drained, having a high content in organic material. In order to test the reaction of certain blueberry varieties to the Bucharest area conditions, where the soil is not totally suitable for this culture, an experiment was conducted with 6 varieties and 4 different methods of working the soil on the rows (bark, sawdust, agrotextile and grass) to ensure conditions as good as possible for the growth of the plants. For the planting, 10 liters of acid peat were used to correct the acidity of the soil. The biometric parameters analyzed for the plants highlighted, on one hand, differences among varieties, and on the other hand, differences among the soil maintenance variants. The varieties Pemberton and Bluecrop were more vigorous, while the varieties Delicia and Simultan proved to have a lower vigor. Also the fruit quality varied depending on the soil maintenance variants.
