Abstract: 6-Benzylamino purine (BA) solutions at 100, 200 or 400 ppm, applied to self-pollinated flowers of the partly self-incompatible olive ( Olea europaea , L. cv. Chalkidikis) at full bloom, increased the set of normal seeded fruits in young potted trees, in the greenhouse. In mature orchard trees, only concentrations at 400, 600 or 800 ppm were effective. Applications of BA to open-pollinated flowers failed to increase fruit-set. BA applied to unpollinated flowers did not induce the formation of normal fruits and did not increase the number or size of smaller parthenocarpic fruits. The use of 2-naphthoxyacetic acid (2-NOA) and potassiumgibberellate (KGA 3 ), after self-pollination of the flowers, did not affect the set of normal seeded fruits.
