Description

Raspberry plants have perennial root systems and biennial stems and are cultivated for its fruit.

The total world production of Raspberries was 578,233 tons, with Russia supplying 25% of this amount which accounted for 143 thousand tons.

The major Raspberry producing countries in the world are Russia, Poland, United States, Serbia and Mexico.

The major Raspberry growing states of India are Mysore, Punjab, Assam and Mahabaleshwar.

Economically Important Part

Fruits are the most economically important part of Raspberry cultivation

Conditions for Cultivation

Raspberry cultivation can be done in a wide range of climatic conditions.

Raspberry cultivation thrives best in cooler climates.

Raspberries tolerate shade, but grow best in full sun.

They thrive best in rich soils from sandy loams to silt with good water drainage.

Raspberry cultivation prefers a soil pH range between 6.0-7.0 for best yield.

Major Challenges

Biotic Causes:
- Major Pests: Weevils, Japanese Beetle, Raspberry Cane Borer, Red-Neck Cane Borer and Raspberry Crown Borer.
- Major Diseases: Cane Blight, Gray Mold, Raspberry Leaf Spot, Spur Blight and Yellow rust.
Abiotic Causes:
- Fruit Cracking
