Raspberry Pests and Diseases Pictures: Learn to Recognize Problems and Save Your Crop
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my post about dealing with pests and diseases on my raspberry plants:

So, I’ve been growing raspberries for a couple of years now. Love the little buggers, fresh off the plant, nothing better. But man, they can be a real pain sometimes with all sorts of critters and diseases trying to take them down. I had to get my hands dirty to figure things out.

Raspberry Pests and Diseases Pictures: Learn to Recognize Problems and Save Your Crop

It all started when I noticed some yellow spots on the leaves. Not just a few, but like, a lot. I thought, “Oh crap, what’s happening to my babies?” I took some pictures, did some research, and found out it could be a bunch of different viruses. Raspberry viruses, they call them. Yeah, not very creative, I know. These viruses had all sorts of symptoms, like pale green spots, blotches, you name it.

Then there were the bugs. Tiny little things, crawling all over the place, eating away at the leaves and fruit. I felt like I was in a war zone. I tried picking them off by hand, but that was like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

  • First, I tried hosing them down with water. That helped a little, but not enough.
  • Then, I got some insecticidal soap. Sprayed the heck out of those plants. It worked, but I had to keep doing it, like, every week. And I didn’t want to spray chemicals on something I was going to eat, you know?
  • And I had to find a way to get those pictures on my computer so I could see what I was up against.

I went and bought one of those Raspberry Pi thingamajigs that I’d heard about. And let me tell you, getting that thing to work was an adventure. I had to download this Raspberry Pi Imager thing. I figured out how to install their operating system on a microSD card. Sounds fancy, but it’s just a little chip. I messed around with it and got the camera module hooked up.

I was snapping pics of all the diseased leaves and bugs. I learned that some people were even using these Raspberry Pi things to detect plant diseases automatically. Not there yet myself, but it’s cool to know what’s possible.

My Own Little System

I started taking pictures regularly, and, over time, I got pretty good at figuring out what was wrong just by looking at the leaves. Yellow spots usually meant a virus. Holes in the leaves? Probably some kind of beetle.

I ended up creating my own little system, nothing fancy. I’d take pictures, compare them to what I’d seen before, and then decide what to do. Sometimes it was just pruning the affected areas. Sometimes I had to use some organic stuff to keep the bugs away. I even started planting some other plants nearby that are supposed to keep pests away, like garlic and marigolds. Don’t know if it really works, but hey, it can’t hurt, right?

It’s been a real learning experience, let me tell you. But now, I feel like I’ve got a handle on things. My raspberries are doing pretty good, and I’m getting a decent harvest every year. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it. There’s just something special about growing your own food, even if it’s just a handful of berries. I hope sharing my story might help some of you other raspberry growers out there. It’s tough, but you can do it!
