Abstract
High temperature growing condition 24 - 41.5 deg C caused low fruit setting for tomatoes. The application of plant growth regulator PGR could improved fruit set and fruit size. Lycopersicom esculentum cv Alboram and cv Red Rock were selected to study the effect of external PGR application on fruit development and total yield. The application of PGR increased percentage of fruit set by two folds compared to non-application of PGR. At the same time the application of PGR increased fruit size and fruit weight. The plant applied with PGR gave the average yield per plant was 1429.5g and 840.2g in Alboran and Red Rock respectively as compared to non-application of PGR which was 327.8g and 272.7g. It is concluded that the application of PGR was necessary to improved flowering and fruit set of tomatoes grown under high conditions.
