I don't know, but the yellow colour on the leaf suggests to me that the raspberry isn't getting all the nutrients it needs.

Have you put any fertiliser down?

Also, have you used any weedkiller in the area?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I have had the same thing with mine.  I think yellow leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency.  A scattering of sulphate of ammonia or pelleted chicken manure will give your plants a quick fix, and a top dressing of well rotted compost will sort them out in the longer term.

There is no nitrogen in suphate of potatsh; give a liquid feed like Miracle Grow or Phostrogen for a quick boost then a general purpose fertiliser like Growmore or pelleted chicken manure for a longer-term feed (assuming it ever rains to wash it in, that is!!)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

When did you put the sulphate of potash on?  I'd leave it for 2-3 weeks after applying the fertiliser to see whether there's an improvement.

If it isn't a lack of other nutrients, it may be a virus which isn't good news - but wait to see whether the plant picks up first.

Have you been using a potash fertilizer? if so this prevents the plants taking up magnesium. If this is the case spray with epsom salts.

can't really tell, have the yields started to go down or is the growth stunted?
These will also help confirm a virus.

I have merged your 3 raspberry threads into one, so that everyone can follow the previous advice.

JayG suggested that sulphate of potash probably wasn't the right fertiliser - did you apply growmore or chicken poo as suggested?

Fatcat also suggested that you try spraying wtih epsom salts - have you tried that yet?

It might be a mosaic virus but without eliminating the other nutrient issues, and answering Mumofstig's other questions, we can't tell.

If this is your first season with them, you won't be able to answer that question.  It means 'are you getting fewer raspberries each season'?
