Written for use by raspberry producers, this text guides readers through several aspects of producing and selling raspberries. There is a decided emphasis on production, as it is volume 23 of Crop Production Science in Horticulture, but chapters on the biology and ecology of raspberries will be useful for everyone. The chapters are individually authored and describe raspberry growth and development, their climatic requirements, selecting your growing site, selecting and developing your cultivar, nursery production, soil and water management, pest and disease management, crop production, postharvest physiology and considerations for storage, marketing, farm management and economics. Four more appendices appear at the back on protecting raspberries from wind-damage, integrated fertilizer and irrigation systems, and then biological and business terms.
