[Objective] To analyze the effect of soil moisture content of the raspberries and its soil and water conservation and economic benefits in order to provide a new kind of economic plant used in soil and water conservation for farmland comprehensive control of soil and water loss in the Northeast China. [Methods] The field experiment both in terrace and earth bank was carried out in the black soil region in Heilongjiang Province

Northeast China. [Results] The raspberries had good adaptability and capability of soil and water conservation. At the third year after raspberries were planted

the soil erosion was lower than 200 t/(km2·a)

the soil erosion tolerance in the black soil region of Northeast China. At the same time

the water-retention rate was as high as 86.6%

and the economic income of raspberries in terrace and earth bank respectively reached 17 200 yuan/hm2 and 16 800 yuan/hm2. [Conclusion] The raspberries had great benefit of soil and water conservation and should be recommended to plant in terrace and earth bank in the black soil region of Northeast China.
