Nitrogen management is quite complicated due to it mobility, transformations, vegetative growth and reproductive development, berry biochemical content etc. The nitrogen management for blueberries was chosen as a main topic for experiment set up in Valmiera district in 2012 where plantation was established 2 years ago. Experimental plots with blueberry cultivar ‘Chippewa’ were arranged on gently slope. Original topsoil’s reaction was pH KCl 6.41, organic matter content 20 g kgE-1. Five experimental plots each of them consisting from 8 bushes was set up. Soil reaction was determined potentiometrically, organic matter in mineral soil according to the Tyurin’s method, in organic materials – by dry combustion, total nitrogen using Kjeldahl method. Samples of leaves from each experimental plot were taken during the vegetation for NPK and Fe, Mn, B nutrition diagnosis. Research showed that different nitrogen fertiliser applications significantly influenced Mn concentration in the leaves; however the impact on yield was not significant.
