abstract: Field experiments were conducted with strawberry in 2000-2001, with highbush blueberry and raspberry in 2002-2003, on sandy soil of a good-rye-complex. The influence of drip irrigation was tested on the background of various doses of nitrogen (0, 60, 120, 180 kg N ha-1 applied for highbush blueberry); (0, 60, 120 180 kg N ha-1); and NPK at 0, 1NPK (20 + 40 + 50 kg ha-1), 2 NPK applied for strawberry. Drip irrigation significantly increased the yield of highbush blueberry, by 117%, of raspberry – by 43%, and of strawberry – by 15%. The best effect of fertilization was achieved at 120 kg N for raspberry, for highbush blueberry at 180 kg N ha-1, and for strawberry at 110 kg N ha-1.
