Yeang H. Y., . and Ong S. H., . Low fruit-set from Hevea hand-pollination: fruit load and propensity of floral shoots to fruit-bearing. pp. 143-154. ISSN 0127-7065
Abstract
Low fruit-set from hand-pollination in Hevea arose primarily from the failure of entire floral shoots to bear fruits. In hand-pollinations carried out in the main flowering season a mean of 83.7 of the floral shoots were barren despite the fact that seven to nine hand-pollinations were normally carried out on each shoot. Competition between developing fruits on the same floral shoot was not a major cause of low fruit-set. The distribution of fruits among hand-pollinated floral shoots conformed to a negative binomial distribution indicating that fruit-set was not random but tended to be aggregated on particular shoots that were better disposed to fruit-set.
