The low fruiting is one of the main problems related to the pear production in Brazil. In this context, this work aimed to determine the fruit set of pear fruits 'Garber' in the different fruiting organs regarding the North, South, West and East quadrant by using physical and chemical treatments. Sixteen-year-old trees were conducted at spacing of 6 × 8 m. The treatments were: 1) control; 2) summer short pruning; 3) branches bending + summer long pruning; 4) winter branches bending; 5) winter pruning; 6) girdling; 7) 560 ml 100 L-1 of H 2 O of Promalina ® (benzyladenine + gibberellins AG 4 +AG 7) or 8) 200 ml 100 L-1 of H 2 O of Biozyme * TF. After 55 days, the fruits fixed in the different fruiting organs as lamburde, brindille, brindille couronnee and bourse were counted. The girdling treatment done in the winter time showed the highest effective fruit set rates independent of fruiting organs. The use of Promalina ® and winter bending were not efficient to the pear tree 'Garber' in this experiment conditions. The effective fruit set was similar at all the orientation quadrants in the region of Pelotas-RS, Brazil. The fruiting organs of the pear trees 'Garber' that showed the highest effective fruit set rates were brindille couronnee and bourses. Lamburde was the fruiting organ with the lowest effective fruit set rates independent of treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
