Biotechnological approaches for the production of raspberry planting material is a fundamental technology to obtain healthy, homogeneous and cultivar authentic plants. The objectives of the present study were raspberry cultivars, such as: 'Willamette', 'Meeker', 'Samodiva' and 'Magdalena' - a candidate cultivar. The experiment was carried out in the collection plantation of the Research Institute of Stockbreeding and Agriculture, Troyan, in the period of 2018/2019. The field experiment was set with various intra row spacing (0.30 and 0.50) and inter row spacing (3.00 m). The highest average fruit weight was found in 'Meeker' (2.91 g) at a planting distance of 0.50 m and 'Magdalena' - a candidate cultivar (2.87 g) at a planting distance of 0.30 m. The highest average yield per 1 m2 was registered for 'Willamette' (1707.84 g), 'Magdalena' - a candidate cultivar (1605.92 g) and 'Meeker' (1469.17 g) at intra row spacing of 0.30 m.
