Raspberries are shrubs that belong to the genus Rubus idaeus L., Rosaceae’s family. The raspberry culture is one of the most widespread among fruit bushes. Raspberries include a large number of varieties with different ripening periods, with summer and autumn fruiting of the remontant ones. The fruits of the genus Rubus are among those rich in bioactive compounds (anthocyanins, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates), so beneficial for human and animal health (Vega et al., 2021) The objective of the paper was to evaluate the bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties from raspberry fruits obtained from plants grown on different culture substrates, such as: manure, garden soil, forest compost, semi-fermented compost and spent mushroom substrate (SMS), applied to the soil. The studied plantation was established in the spring of 2020, and the presented results refer to the fruits harvested in 2022. The experiments were set up in the field within SCDP Băneasa - the Moara Domnească Afumati Experimental Farm.
