Raspberry Pollination Treatment Yields and Fruit Metrics from England

Fruit set and marketable fruit set percentages for commercial raspberry plants under four pollination treatments. The dataset includes fruit weight, length, width, and seed counts for a subset of collected fruit. Data was collected in Reading, England, from 2019 to 2021 by the Environmental Information Data Centre.

Use Cases

• Compare fruit set success rates across four pollination treatments to identify the most effective method.
• Analyze correlations between fruit weight, length, and width measurements and the number of seeds per fruit.
• Model marketable fruit set percentage as a function of pollination treatment using the provided success/failure data.

Strengths

• Data covers four distinct pollination treatments for controlled comparison.
• Includes detailed fruit metrics like weight, dimensions, and seed counts for a subset.
• Temporal coverage spans three consecutive years (2019-2021) in a single location.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in Reading, England, reducing generalizability.
• Seed count data is only available for a subset of the fruit, not the full collection.
