Cane characteristics of 'Cola II' red raspberry as affected by application of nitrogen fertilizers and organic manure

This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen amount and application time, and the effect of sheep manure application on the cane characteristics of ‘Cola II’ red raspberry. 56 and 112 kg.ha-1 of N were applied as ammonium nitrate. The 112 kg.ha-1 of N was applied as whole and split applications. Organic manure as 30 and 40 ton.ha-1 was applied as whole applications as sheep manure. However, it had no effect other characteristics. Time of N application affected some of the characteristics measured. Yield increased significantly half/spring rates and fruit weight 30 ton.ha-1 rate organic manure. Berry weight varied from 1.77 to 2.16 g, yield from 329.87 to 1009.6 g/m2.
