Production Guide - Soilless Raspberries

This guide, the first guide to soilless raspberry production in Quebec, presents the complete technical itinerary for producing high-quality, high-yield fruit per unit area. It aims to support the diversification of berry production in Quebec, which must occupy the market over a longer period to meet the demand of distributors and consumers.

Growing raspberries above ground allows for the production of varieties that are not hardy in Quebec's climate, but have high yield potential and produce large-sized fruits. This emerging technique requires advanced knowledge, rigorous monitoring of the various stages of production, and significant investment.

The authors, themselves fruit production consultants and experts in the production of raspberries above ground under cover, share in a clear and detailed manner the best practices for this crop, based on knowledge acquired in the field and through various trials carried out in Quebec and elsewhere in the world.
