Variety traits

Yield — Raspberry and Blackberry

Rubus L.

An economic and biological trait determined by the mass of berries per bush or hectare, derived from the number of canes, laterals, berries per lateral, and their average mass.

In the reference 28 varieties crop Blackberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The yield of Rubus L. is evaluated through productivity components, including the number of fruiting canes per bush, the number of fruit-bearing branches (laterals) per cane, the number of berries per lateral, and the average fruit mass. The main units of measurement are tons per hectare for industrial evaluation and kilograms per bush for individual plants.

Typical yields for raspberry cultivars in Russia range from 3–6 t/ha, with good indicators reaching 6–10 t/ha, and the best modern cultivars capable of producing 12–15 t/ha. Blackberry has a potential 1.5–2 times higher than raspberry due to more vigorous growth and branching of laterals, averaging 5–10 t/ha.

Realization of yield potential depends on agronomic practices, irrigation, and bush training. A specific role is played by the biological characteristics of primocane-fruiting (everbearing) raspberry cultivars, where only 60–70% of berries reach maturity in temperate climates before the onset of autumn frosts.
