Abstract
Abstract Whole-tree sprays of gibberellic acid (GA) plus calcium dihydrophosphate Ca(H2PO4)2 increased fruit set of navel orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] during 1979 and 1980. Gibberellic acid alone or a combination with Ca(H2PO4)2 or 6-benzylamino purine (BA) increased fruit set in 1980. Benzylamino purine did not increase fruit set or the fruit-setting effectiveness of GA. Calcium dihydrophosphate increased fruit set for approximately 5.5 weeks in 1980 even though leaves did not show signs of calcium deficiency. However, no increase in fruit set was observed 8.5 weeks after application. Fruit sprayed with GA were smaller than untreated fruit initially; however, no size differences were noted 8.5 weeks after full bloom.
