Keep your rows narrower than 18 inches (46 cm.).Reduce moisture and humidity in the area.The keys to controlling these diseases are: Wind also spreads the fungi of spur blight.
Splashing water spreads transmits the fungi in all three of these diseases. The diseases may overwinter on the plant and then spread from floricane to primocane. The wounds form reddish brown streaks and can eventually girdle the entire cane causing cane death.Īll three of these fungal diseases of raspberry plants are spread from cane to cane rather than root to cane. Cane blight is caused by wounds in the stem.During the next year, these areas will be non-productive and appear leggy. These spots might expand around the entire stem. On the branch stem, you’ll see little ½ inch (1 cm.) purple or brown spots around the nodes. The leaves will die and drop off leaving the leaf petiole. In the leaves, you’ll see yellowing and browning. Spur blight initiates its disease course in the leaves or at the node where the leaf attaches to the cane (stem).Anthracnose weakens and cracks the bark and often leads to the death of the cane over the winter. Anthracnose displays round, sunken, white to tan colored pits in the internodes of the cane or stem (the areas between leaves or smaller branches).Look at your primocanes in late summer or early fall before they harden up for winter to see if you have signs of these diseases. Some important fungal diseases that lead to raspberry canes turning brown include spur blight, cane blight, and anthracnose. Copper sprays applied periodically throughout the season can help protect the plant but will not prevent the disease. It is best to cut out the infected plant material at least 12 inches (31 cm.) below the diseased area. They need a wound opening or pruning cut to infect the plant. These diseases can ruin fruit production and are favored by moist, wet springs or winters. Both of these diseases cause significant browning raspberry canes – very dark or burnt-looking stems and leaves are a sure sign.
Bacterial problemsīacterial diseases include fire blight and bacterial blight. It becomes a bit woodier and browner in its second year. In general, a floricane is not as lush and green looking as a primocane. Browning raspberry canes can also be a sign of normal growth. Raspberry cane diseases that result in browning can be caused by bacteria or fungi. Reasons for Raspberry Canes Turning Brown Leaving floricanes uncut can lead to unnecessary raspberry plant problems. You should cut floricanes down to ground level after you harvest your berries. They typically die or become non-productive after that. You want to let the primocanes grow and then overwinter for producing flowers and fruit in the second year.ĭuring the second year of this cane’s life, it is called a floricane. It may produce buds but doesn’t typically produce fruit. A primocane is a leafy stalk formed during its first year on a raspberry plant. One of the first things you need to know is the difference between a primocane and a floricane. Canes turning brown are a common symptom of many different diseases of raspberry plants.

That being said, there are many diseases of raspberry plants, so it is good to educate yourself about how to grow the delectable raspberry. The raspberry aroma is tangy, and the taste of a fresh raspberry is delightfully warm, sweet, and tart! Raspberry plants are worth growing. Isn’t it satisfying to harvest your own raspberries? I love the way a perfectly warm, ripe raspberry rolls off its mount into my fingers.
