Abstract
Strawberries and raspberries are crops that are traditionally produced in the field.
Recently, a desire on the part of consumers for year-round fresh berries has stimulated out-of-season production around the world.
A brief review will be presented on the developments in out-of-season production of berries in greenhouses and plastic tunnels.
Forcing practices, cultural and production systems will be described.
Other important aspects of protected cultivation such as dormancy and chilling requirements, forcing floricanes and primocanes raspberries and the use of bumblebees for pollination will be discussed.
