The culture technology applied was specific for the raspberry plantations. Theanalyzed varieties had a different behaviour from the point of view of the vegetative growth, production capacity andfruit quality. The 'Gustar’ variety had the highest capacity to produce root shoots; 'Elite 89’ had the highest number ofinflorescences per strain, while 'Malling promise’ had the highest number of fruit per inflorescences. From the qualitypoint of view, the 'Heritage’ and 'Elite 89’ varieties recorded higher content in dry substance; 'Opal’ recorded thehighest content in vitamin C, while 'Gustar’ and 'Malling Promise’ recorded higher content in carbohydrates.
