Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon (Ait.)) yield has been associated with photosynthate supply. However, the impact of temperature and radiation on photosynthesis of the cranberry plant is not well understood. The objective of this experiment was to characterize the photosynthetic response to radiation and temperature in order to develop a model for estimation of cranberry photosynthetic rates. Two cranberry cultivars, 'Stevensʼ and 'Ben Learʼ, were tested for photosynthetic response at air temperatures ranging from 15 to 35 °C and radiation intensities from 200 to 1200 µmol·m-2·s-1. Depending on temperature, maximum photosynthesis (Pmax ) was ≈10 or 12 µmol CO2/m2/s (net pho- tosynthesis) and the saturating radiation level was estimated to be 600 to 800 µmol·m-2·s-1. Cranberry quantum yield was estimated as 0.03 mol CO2/mol photon. Both models; Blackman and the nonrectangular hyperbola with a Θ (angle of curvature) of 0.99 were a good fi t for measured photosynthetic rates under controlled environment conditions. The disparity between modeled predicted values, and observed values in the fi eld around midday, indicates a reduction in potential photosynthetic rates in a diurnal cycle that is consistent with the phenomenon of midday depression. Cranberry is an important economic fruit crop in the north coastal regions of the United States as well as in Wisconsin and parts of Canada. The commercial cranberry (Vaccinium macro- carpon (Ait.)) is indigenous to acidic soils and is found naturally in marshes and river banks of coastal regions. It grows as a slow growing, creeping vine and is along with the other important native North American fruit crop, blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum
