✦ Synopsis
The potential effects of two hormones, namely potassium gibberellate (P .G.) and naphtaline acetamide (N .A .), on pod setting in bean were investigated in three crossing programs, set up with five varieties of bean . Shortly after each crossing, a cut was made on the calyx and a mixture of lanoline + P.G . (2 %) or of lanoline + P.G. (2 %) + N .A. (1 %) was applied . Lanoline alone was used as a control . When compared with the control, lanoline + P .G . (2%) increased the number of pods, although significantly so only in two of the programs . Lanoline + P.G. (2 %) -F-N .A . (1 %) increased the number of pods by 23 .39 to 25.46% .
