Abstract

Stepwise multiple regression analysis of the 1975 cross PB 5/51 X RRIM 703 showed fruit-set success to be negatively correlated with evaporation on the day of hand-pollination and positively correlated with maximum temperature; also with maximum temperature two days after pollination and relative humidity the day before. The influences of evaporation and relative humidity on fruit-setting were confirmed using a non-parametric procedure of analysis involving twenty-two crossed carried out over five years. Evaporation was also associated with the disparity in fruit-set success between the annual main and secondary flowering seasons. However a causal relationship had not been ascertained in this instance
