Due to the lack of scientifically grounded technologies for the cultivation of common raspberries in the gardens and nurseries of the Non-Chernozem zone of the Russian Federation, aimed at the minimum use of resources and funds, it is relevant research to establish the effect of different moisture availability on the growth, development and productivity of raspberries, as well as the development of an optimal soil moisture regime in the Non-Chernozem region. Field research is carried out on the territory of the training and experimental farm, the fruit-growing laboratory "Michurinsky Garden" of Russian Timiryazev State Agrarian University. The experiment is two-factor, aimed at studying different preirrigation moisture thresholds for the development of two varieties of raspberries, was laid in the fall of 2018.
