fruit set
Flowers becoming produce
Fruit set is the transition from flower to developing fruit, when pollination succeeds and the ovary begins to swell.
Growers assess fruit set to predict yields: We had excellent fruit set this year despite the late frost.
Poor fruit set results from inadequate pollination, weather stress, or nutrient deficiency.
