Abstract
Fruit yield enhancement is achieved by applying a semicarbazone in a fruit yield enhancing effective amount to the locus of a fruit bearing plant. Most preferably, the semicarbazone treatment is practiced at the onset of reproductive growth--that is, at the onset of the flowering and/or fruit reproductive growth stage of the plant. Most preferably, the semicarbazone is diflufenzopyr.
