Wind Speed Affects Pollination Success in Blackberries

Sociobiology, 2018
Pollination of wild plants and agricultural crops is a vitally important ecosystem service. Many landscape and environmental factors influence the pollination success of crops, including distance from natural habitat, wind speed, and solar radiation ...

THE EFFECT OF NAPHTHENIC ACIDS (NAs) ON THE RESPONSE OF ‘GOLDEN DELICIOUS’ AND ‘FUJI’ APPLE TREES ON CHEMICAL THINNING WITH NAA

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2016
NAA (α-naphthylacetic acid) thins apple fruits inconsistently regarding fruit set and weight and may cause small or misshapen fruits occurrence. Considering hormonal activity, surfactant properties and the impact of naphthenic acids (NAs) on the metabo ...

Defoliation and Fruit Set in Guava1

HortScience, 1975
Abstract Flower buds of guava (Psidium guajava L.) are invariably borne on newly emerging axillary or terminal vegetative growth. Any cultural manipulation that will induce the development of this growth will ultimately result in fruit set. Defoliation with urea brings about “instantaneous” flowering and subsequent fruit setting.

Differential responses of red pollen parents on colour of green maternal parents of apple (Malus × domestica) cultivars

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Under open pollination conditions, the highest fruit set was observed in Red Gold (76.33%) and the lowest in Anna (51.44 %). Cross-compatibility studies revealed that Red Gold as pollinizer gave the highest fruit set in Golden Delicious Reinders (84.09%)

Genotypic variation in flowering, fruit set, and cherelle wilt, and their relationship with leaf nutrient status in cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) grown in humid tropics of India [PDF]

Innovations in Agriculture
Cocoa is an important plantation crop grown for its beans, used in the chocolate and confectionary industry. It produces a large number of perfect flowers on the stem (cauliflorous), but the fruit set is low.

Identification and characterization of cherry (Cerasus pseudocerasus G. Don) genes responding to parthenocarpy induced by GA3 through transcriptome analysis

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Fruit set after successful pollination is key for the production of sweet cherries, and a low fruit-setting rate is the main problem in production of this crop.
