The effects of plant growth regulators on fruit set of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) under high temperature were examined in a controlled environment and a field under rain shelter. Tomato plants exposed to high temperature (34/20?C) had reduced fruit set. Treatments of plant growth regulators reduced the fruit set inhibition by high temperature to some extent, especially treatment with mixtures of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) and gibberellins (GAs). In the field experiment, tomatoes treated with a mixture of 4-CPA and GAs showed increased fruit set and the numbers of normal fruits (excluding abnormal types such as puffy fruit) were more than the plants treated with 4-CPA alone during summer.
