2026 Crop Updates

 

As the 2026 wild blueberry season wraps up and more production information becomes available, we are providing an updated overview of estimated yields across major commercial wild blueberry production regions (Table 1).

For Nova Scotia, the 2026 growing season brought a welcome production recovery following the challenging drought conditions experienced in 2025. Provincial production is estimated at approximately 48 million lbs, slightly above the five-year average. However, significant regional and field-to-field yield variability remained evident throughout the province.

Table 1. Commercial Wild Blueberry Production Regions and Estimated Yields, Updated November 6, 2026.

Production Region	2025 Yield (million lbs)	5-Year Average (2021–2025) (million lbs)	2026 Estimated Yield (million lbs)
Maine	55	80	70–80
Quebec	92	82	100–110
New Brunswick	33	56	50–60
Prince Edward Island	21	21	27.3
Nova Scotia	32	45	48
Total	233	284	Above 300

This season, the wild blueberry industry is expected to reach over 300 million lbs produdctions across all commercial production regions. This represents a substantial increase from the 233 million lbs produced in 2025 and is above the five-year average of approximately 284 million lbs.

 

2026 Nova Scotia Wild Blueberry Production Highlights

Nova Scotia's 2026 wild blueberry production is estimated at approximately 48 million lbs, representing a substantial recovery from the 32 million lbs harvested in 2025. This year's production is also slightly above the provincial five-year average of 45 million lbs (2021–2025, Table 1).

Despite concerns about the effects of the 2025 drought, variable spring weather, and localized frost events, many production areas experienced average to above-average yields. Nevertheless, considerable regional and field-to-field production differences were observed throughout the province this growing season.

Key production highlights from the 2026 season include:

-          Strong provincial production recovery: Estimated production reached 48 million lbs, higher than the 2025 crop and slightly above the five-year average. This improvement reflects a positive recovery across many production areas following the challenging 2025 growing season.

-          Significant regional and field-to-field variability: The Cumberland–Minas Shore region experienced some of the most challenging production conditions, with lingering drought impacts contributing to below-average yields in several areas. In contrast, many production areas outside Cumberland County experienced average to above-average production, with some fields producing particularly strong crops. These differences highlight the uneven recovery across the province.

-          Beneficial August rainfall supported fruit development and harvest: The amount and distribution of rainfall during August played an important role in the 2026 wild blueberry crop. Timely precipitation helped maintain soil moisture during the final stages of fruit development, supporting berry filling, weight gain, and overall fruit quality. Meanwhile, the rainfall pattern, which included suitable dry periods between precipitation events, allowed producers to continue harvesting operations across much of the province. This balance between adequate moisture for fruit development and favorable harvesting conditions contributed positively to the 2026 production season.

 

Fall Management Resources

 

Accessing Wild Blueberry Weather Infromation

As producers move into the fall management period, weather conditions continue to play an important role in scheduling field operations and planning herbicide applications. Some fall herbicides have specific moisture and temperature requirements to achieve effective weed control while minimizing potential crop injury. Therefore, producers are encouraged to continue monitoring local field conditions through reliable weather information networks.

Unfortunately, Perennia's Farm Data Tools platform is currently undergoing maintenance, and weather station information is temporarily unavailable through the platform. In the meantime, producers who regularly rely on Farm Data Tools for local weather information can access Perennia's Wild Blueberry Weather Station Maps through the Weather page of the Nova Scotia Wild Blueberry Blog: https://www.novascotiawildblueberryblog.com/p/weather.html.

The webpage provides access to two weather station maps:

• Wild Blueberry Weather Station Map: Displays the locations of wild blueberry weather stations across the province.
• Soil Temperature Map: Provides access to soil temperature information from participating weather station sites.

Producers can click on an individual weather station on the map (Figure 1) and follow the Live Data link to access current weather information, including soil temperatures (Figure 2).

Figure 1. Westchester weather station (NSW094) and the Live Data link for accessing soil temperature information.

Kerb Herbicide Application Considerations

Fall herbicide applications require careful consideration of environmental conditions to achieve effective weed control and maintain crop safety. Among the herbicides used in wild blueberry production, Kerb (Propyzamide) is one that requires particular attention to application timing, soil temperature, and moisture conditions.

According to the product label, "Best results are obtained when soil temperatures are low but above freezing and when soil moisture is high."

The following are important considerations when planning Kerb applications:

-          Soil temperature: Ideally, soil temperatures should be between 0°C and 10°C, while remaining above freezing.

-          Soil moisture and rainfall: Adequate soil moisture is important for herbicide performance. Rainfall shortly after application helps move the herbicide into the soil and toward the root zone, where it can be absorbed by susceptible weeds.

-          Frozen ground: Do not apply Kerb when the ground is frozen.

BLUE FOCUS NEWSLETTER- July 2026

 

Hello, everyone

As we move into the 2026 wild blueberry harvest season, crop conditions across Nova Scotia have improved significantly thanks to timely July rainfall and favourable summer temperatures. While some fields continue to show the lingering effects of last year's drought, berry development and sizing have exceeded earlier expectations, and commercial harvest is expected to ramp up during the first weeks of August.

This issue provides an update on crop development, insect monitoring, weather and precipitation conditions, and drought recovery support programs available to growers. We encourage growers to continue monitoring berry ripeness and pest activity closely to optimize harvest timing and fruit quality.

We wish all of you a great and successful harvest season!

July Wild Blueberry Production Highlights

 

As July comes to a close, the 2026 wild blueberry crop has continued to progress under generally favourable growing conditions. Timely rainfall during the second half of the month, combined with warm temperatures, has significantly improved berry development and crop outlook across much of Nova Scotia. While the remaining effects of last year's drought continue to influence plant health and field variability, the overall crop has improved compared with early season expectations.

 

Crop Development

Most production areas have completed fruit development and are currently around 50% berry ripening or higher, with commercial harvest expected to begin after the first week of August. Although crop maturity generally follows a traditional seasonal schedule, ripening remains uneven among fields and even within individual fields due to differences in plant health and drought recovery.

Healthier clones have advanced more rapidly and contain a higher percentage of ripe fruit, while weaker areas continue to lag behind. This variation will likely require growers to carefully monitor harvest timing to maximize berry quality and yield.

Earlier in the season, an extended bloom period, localized spring frost events, blight infections, and the carry-over effects of the 2025 drought reduced yield potential in some production areas. Fortunately, rainfall received during July arrived at a critical stage of fruit development and has supported berry sizing and fruit weight gain. Additional precipitation during early August would further benefit late-developing fruit and help maximize harvest potential.

Overall, provincial yield estimates remain below the long-term average but continue to improve as the season progresses.

 

Insect Monitoring

Blueberry Maggot continues to be the primary insect concern during harvest preparations.

Adult flies were detected earlier than normal this season, and trap catches have remained high in several production regions. Growers should continue monitoring traps regularly and apply insecticides promptly when economic thresholds are reached. Due to extended adult emergence, some fields may require multiple applications to maintain protection throughout harvest.

Perennia's province-wide Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD) monitoring program remains active. Monitoring traps were established before July 1 across several wild blueberry production regions and continue to be checked weekly. Those regions are Rawdon, Debert, Oxford and Parrsboro.

As of late July, no SWD has been detected in the monitoring traps, although populations have recently been reported in neighbouring crop systems. Continued monitoring throughout harvest remains important, as early detection is critical for effective management.

 

Sprout Field Management

Sprout fields and newly established plants are now completing their vegetative growth phase and beginning the transition to fruit bud initiation and development. This is a critical period for nutrient management, soil and leaf tissue sampling, and maintaining healthy foliage to support next year's crop potential.

Current priorities include:

• Conduct soil and leaf tissue sampling after plants have reached vegetative maturity (tip dieback) to accurately evaluate nutrient status.
• Develop nutrient management plans for the upcoming crop cycle using both soil and tissue test results.
• Continue fungicide applications where disease management is required.
• Monitor fields for perennial weeds and complete spot treatments where necessary to prevent further spread.

Although many sprout fields appear healthy, drought stress from last season remains visible in some locations through reduced stem density, shorter plant height, and uneven vegetative growth. These fields may benefit from additional management inputs to improve plant vigour before entering the crop year.

 

Looking Ahead

Harvest preparation is now the primary focus for growers across Nova Scotia. Over the coming weeks, management efforts should concentrate on:

• Monitoring berry ripeness to optimize harvest timing.
• Continuing Blueberry Maggot and SWD monitoring.
• Maintaining insect management programs where required.

 

 

 

Weather Updates

 

 

1.    Wild Blueberry Weather Station GDD Summary (April 1- July 29)

 

From April 1 to July 29, all wild blueberry production regions across Nova Scotia accumulated more than 1,000 growing degree days. This milestone indicates that berry ripening is well underway throughout the province.

In the earliest production regions and fields, berry ripeness is estimated at 70–80%, and commercial harvest is expected to begin soon. In later-maturing production areas, berry ripeness is currently around 50%, with harvest expected to begin later. Overall, the province is anticipated to enter the peak wild blueberry harvest season following the first week of August.

On the sprout field side, blueberry plants have now reached full emergence, and many fields are approaching the tip-dieback stage. During August, vegetative growth will gradually transition toward fruit bud initiation and development.

Figure 1. Wild Blueberry Weather Station GDD Summary (April 1- July 29)

 

 

2. July Precipitation Update

Consistent soil moisture during July is one of the most important factors influencing berry sizing and fruit development. Fortunately, several storm systems moved across Nova Scotia throughout the month, bringing localized rainfall to many wild blueberry production regions.

Figures 2 and 3 summarize the accumulated precipitation received across the province over the previous 20-day and 10-day periods, respectively. During July, total rainfall ranged from approximately 20 mm to over 200 mm across Nova Scotia (Figure 2). In many production areas, this amount is comparable to or exceeds the total rainfall received during much of last summer, representing a significant improvement in growing conditions. However, fields located along the Northumberland Strait generally received less precipitation than other production regions and may continue to experience moisture limitations.

A closer look at the most recent 10-day rainfall accumulation (Figure 3) shows that several areas requiring additional moisture, including the Cobequid Shore and Minas Shore regions, received timely rainfall during this period. This precipitation arrived at a critical stage of fruit development and is expected to improve berry sizing and fruit weight while reducing moisture stress in many fields.

Overall, July's growing conditions, characterized by adequate heat accumulation and improved soil moisture, have contributed positively to crop development and have strengthened yield potential as the province approaches harvest.

 

Figure 2. Total precipitation from July 4 to 23

 

 

Figure 3. Total precipitation from July 17 to 26

 

 

3. Current Drought Conditions

The most recent Canadian Drought Monitor map (Figure 4) indicates that drought conditions have continued to improve across Nova Scotia. Above-normal precipitation received throughout much of the Maritime region during June, followed by additional rainfall in July, has significantly reduced moisture deficits across many agricultural areas.

Most wild blueberry production regions have shown substantial improvement compared with earlier in the growing season. However, pockets of D0 – Abnormally Dry conditions remain, particularly in parts of Lunenburg, Queens, and Shelburne counties, where continued rainfall will help maintain soil moisture and support late-season crop development.

As highlighted in the July precipitation update, the timely rainfall received throughout the month has arrived during a critical period of fruit development. Combined with favourable heat accumulation, these improved moisture conditions are expected to continue supporting berry sizing, fruit weight gain, and overall crop performance as the harvest season begins.

BLUE FOCUS NEWSLETTER- June 2026

 

 

Hello everyone,

As we move into mid-summer and the post-pollination stage, blueberry fields are showing encouraging signs, with promising green fruit set across many regions. Everyone is excited about the upcoming harvest season, but we still need to be patient for a few more weeks as the fruit continues to develop. Let’s trust Mother Nature and hope for adequate heat and moisture to support a good crop year.

We had a great field day in Upper Onslow this week and were pleased to hear many positive stories and the optimism producers continue to hold. At the same time, we are still seeing carryover effects from last year's drought. Both sprout and crop fields continue to perform abnormally in many areas, with uneven crop development, delayed emergence, lower stem densities, and shorter stems.

As summer progresses, we hope to see continued improvements in plant health and crop development. Ongoing field monitoring and timely management remain critical to maintaining crop productivity and protecting yield potential as we move toward the August harvest season.

Enjoy your summer!

June Wild Blueberry Production Highlights

 

June was both a challenging and encouraging month for Nova Scotia's wild blueberry industry. Across the province, crop fields progressed through a prolonged and uneven pollination season, largely influenced by the carryover effects of the 2025 drought and varying levels of plant health.

A Prolonged Pollination Season

The 2026 pollination season has been extended, with fields exhibiting multiple blooming stages. Uneven plant vigour and delayed crop development resulted in bloom periods ranging from early to late stages across different regions. Despite the prolonged flowering period and ongoing concerns about crop health, weather conditions during bloom were generally favourable for bee activity and pollination.

Frost Damage and Crop Impacts

June began with excellent early bloom development in many healthy fields. However, two significant frost events affected several early-blooming regions of the province. Frost injury caused flower and fruit damage, reducing yield potential in some fields and increasing the risk of blight infections in damaged tissue. The severity of injury varied considerably depending on field location, plant health, and bloom stage during the frost events.

Fruiting Field Development

Although crop conditions remain variable, many average and moderately drought-impacted fields continue to perform normally and are showing promising yield potential. In many Mainland production areas, sizeable and desirable green fruit has already been set, providing optimism for the upcoming harvest season.

In severely drought-impacted fields, plant health has improved with renewed vegetative growth and continued progression through normal growth stages. However, crop development in these areas remains delayed compared with healthier regions.

Sprout Field Conditions

Sprout fields have reached approximately 80–90% plant emergence across the province. However, development remains slower than normal, with reduced plant density and shorter stem growth observed in many fields. These conditions are likely a lingering effect of the 2025 drought and continue to warrant close monitoring throughout the growing season.

Improving Crop Health

Warmer temperatures and improved moisture conditions throughout June have stimulated more active plant growth. Weekly improvements in crop health have been observed across the province, particularly in drought-affected areas where renewed vegetative growth has improved overall field appearance and vigour.

As the season moves into July, patience remains essential. Crop potential varies considerably among regions and fields, but the combination of improving plant health, favourable pollination conditions, and encouraging fruit set in many areas provides optimism for the remainder of the 2026 growing season. Continued field monitoring and timely management will be critical to maintaining crop productivity as we move toward harvest.

 

 

Weather Updates

 

In this section, we provide regular weather updates to help growers track seasonal progress and support field management decisions. Key parameters reviewed include growing degree day (GDD) accumulation, seasonal precipitation trends, and current drought conditions across Nova Scotia, along with highlights from the latest National Agroclimatic Risk Report published on June 16, 2026.

 

1.    Wild Blueberry Weather Station GDD Summary (April 1- June 25)

 

Since April 1, growing degree day (GDD) accumulation has reached approximately 800–900 GDD across mainland production areas (Figure 1). These heat unit accumulations have supported active plant growth and crop development throughout June.

In later-developing fields and in the Cape Breton region, crop fields are approaching the end of bloom and the completion of this year's pollination season. Most sprout fields have reached approximately 80–90% plant emergence, although emergence and stem development remain variable among regions due to the lingering effects of the 2025 drought. Over the next several weeks, crop fields will continue progressing through the fruit development stages, including green fruit, blush, red fruit, and ripening.

Figure 1. Wild Blueberry Weather Station GDD Summary (April 1- June 25)

 

 

2. Seasonal Perception Trends

 

Before June 22, only a few scattered showers had been received across much of Nova Scotia, making June appear to be shaping up as a drier-than-normal month. The Kentville weather station, for example, recorded less than half of its average monthly precipitation by late June (Figure 2).

However, rainfall events from June 23–24 brought variable but significant amounts of precipitation across the province, providing much-needed moisture to many production regions. Additional rainfall is forecast over the coming days.

These recent and anticipated rainfall events are encouraging and should help improve soil moisture conditions in dry areas while providing more consistent moisture to support blueberry fruit development, fruit sizing, and overall crop health as the season progresses.

 

 

Figure 2. 2026 Precipitation vs. Regional Historical Averages from the Kentville Research Weather Station.

 

 

3. Current Drought Conditions

 

In May, drought conditions improved across most agricultural regions in Atlantic Canada. By the end of the month, approximately 21% of the country’s agricultural landscape was classified as Abnormally Dry (D0) or under drought conditions (Figure 3).

Precipitation during May was highly variable across the Atlantic region. Well-above-normal precipitation was recorded in portions of all Atlantic provinces, contributing to localized improvements in soil moisture and surface conditions. However, below-normal monthly precipitation persisted in southern Nova Scotia, limiting recovery in some production areas.

Despite these mixed conditions, drought impacts continue to ease compared to last year’s exceptional drought severity. At the end of May, portions of all Atlantic provinces were still experiencing either Abnormally Dry (D0) or Moderate Drought (D1) conditions.

In Nova Scotia, Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions were primarily observed in Cumberland and several southern counties, where moisture deficits remain more pronounced and continue to influence early-season crop development and field variability.

Figure 3. Canadian Drought Monitor, Conditions as of May 31, 2026.

 

4. National Agroclimatic Risk Report Highlights

 

The National Agroclimatic Risk Report, published on June 16, 2026, provides timely information on regional agroclimate conditions, risks, and impacts across Canada, with several key highlights relevant to Atlantic Canada and the summer forecast.

Cooler temperatures and unsettled weather conditions this spring delayed seeding across much of Canada. At the same time, significant winter snowfall combined with above-normal spring precipitation has contributed to improved water recharge across many regions. In particular, eastern Prince Edward Island, northern New Brunswick, and central Newfoundland received approximately 120–200% of normal precipitation in May. In some of these areas, excess moisture has limited field access and delayed field operations.

Over the past 30 days, however, below-average precipitation was recorded in southern Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick, contributing to more variable moisture conditions across the region.

Despite broader moisture recovery across the region, impacts from last year’s drought remain evident in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Some river levels remain below desirable thresholds, and ongoing challenges include poor forage and crop establishment, tree decline, reduced berry yields, and continued feed concerns.

Looking ahead, above-normal temperatures relative to 1991–2020 averages are forecast across Canada over the next four weeks, which may accelerate crop development but also increase evapotranspiration demand depending on localized moisture availability.
