| dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of seven of the most common plant hormones on fruit set in cashew and also to determine the optimum dosages for each and appropriate time for spraying. All the hormones were able to increase fruit set considerably but 2, 4-D, NAA, and IBA were the best, giving more than 50% fruit set over the control. It was difficult to determine the optimum time for spraying because of the long flowering phase of each panicle and the completely overlapping flowering in the large number of panicles produced in each tree. The study showed also that the beneficial effects of hormone spraying were seriously upset by severe incidence of inflorescence blight. | en_US |
