Abstract
ABSTRACT Suitability of raspberry cultivars for machine harvesting is commonly determined by examining those physical characteristics of the fruit and plant structures which are relevant to machine harvesting. Although all of these characteristics have significant effects on the harvestibility of raspberries, cultivar yield has a far greater effect on the total harvestable yield. Yield variations of 350% were found between ten Ontario varieties with harvestibility ranging from 18 to 62%. Variety selection should be based on total harvestable yields rather than on total yields or percent-harvestable yields.
