Resumen:
I assessed the level of self-compatibility and autogamy of raspberries plantations (Rubus idaeus) in SW Argentina, in order to know the pollination requirements of this crop. Cultivars were highly self-compatible and autogamous.  Because of the high visitation frequency, mostly by Apis mellifera, this plantation did not suffer pollen limitation during the 2007-2008 austral flowering season. The presence of pollinators slightly increased fruit set, but more importantly, they increased the fruit quality, resulting in well-developed fruit with regular marketable shape
