A set of fruits from the same organism.
2
The "setting" (beginning of growing) of fruit, resulting from successful pollination.
Later, Schaible (49) also noticed that tomato fruit-set is generally poor when the night temperature exceeds 23 °C. Howlett (25) points out that both night and day temperatures are important factors limiting tomato fruit-set.
Most workers who have studied the use of auxin sprays on tomatoes have found that although forcing fruit-set on the first 3 or 4 clusters is beneficial, auxin applications to flowers on higher clusters have very little effect.
