Abstract
SummaryThe characteristics of primocane-fruiting (PF) raspberries (developmental cycle, ripening season, yield) and the effects on these of changes in the environment (day-length, length of growing season, temperature, nutrition, growth regulator applications) are described. Economic aspects are discussed in relation to extending the season, reduction in establishment and production costs compared with summer-cropping raspberries, and mechanical harvesting. Progress in breeding new PF varieties in North America and Europe and current and potential future prospects for growing PF raspberries are discussed.
