Summary

Ethephon substantially increased pod numbers of a rust-susceptible cultivar, by inducing leaf fall and a second flowering, but had no such effect on a rust-resistant cultivar. The treatment reduced seed number per pod in both cultivars. B-9 increased pod number in the rust-resistant cv. but reduced mean pod weight and seed number per pod.
