Berry chemical composition characteristics of 'Cola ll' red raspberry as affected by application of nitrogen fertilizers and organic manure

A research was conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen rate and application time, and effect of sheep manure application on the berry composition and cane characteristics of ‘Cola II’ red raspberry. N rates of 56 and 112 kg.ha-1 were applied as ammonium nitrate. The 112 kg.ha-1 rate was applied as single application and split application. Sheep manure at 30 and 40 kg.ha-1 was applied in single applications. Increasing N rates increased the berry concentration. However, ıt had no effect noo other characteristics. N and Sheep Manure (SM) rates have no significant effect on crude protein content, total dry weight, seed percentage, soluble solid concentration and N content. Crude protein from 4.94 to 5.41%. Nitrogen rate of 112 kg ha-1 increased K content and total acidity however, no difference was observed among.
