abstract: The study was done in the years 1996-1999 on highbush blueberry plantations in the Lublin Region – at Matcze near Hrubieszów, Niemce near Lublin, Palikije near Nałęczów, and Rudy near Puławy. Soil reaction in 1 M KCl, and the content of P, K and Mg determined with Egner-Riehm and Schachtschabel methods, were tested. It was found that soil reaction (pH 3.8-4.8) for blueberries in Matcze, Niemce and Palikije was suitable, however in Rudy it was too high (pH > 4.8). The highest content of P in soil on each plantation was characterised. The potassium content in the soil was diversified between the plantations. It was found that the highest content of K occurred in Rudy, and equally high in Palikije. The magnesium contents in the soil were very diversified between the plantations. It was found that the soil in Palikije had twice as much Mg as that in Rudy, and three times more than in the remaining plantation.
