Due to not enough population of Blastophaga
pumilae and sexual Jelly fig
plants in low elevated areas, caprification in Jelly figs were
impossible. Thus it is worth investigating the parthenocarpic
response of Jelly fig by application of PCPA and NAA. 40 PPM of
PCPA or NAA could not induce parthenocarpy, while 100 to 400 PPM
PCPA had high fruit set. Using various concentration of PCPA, it
had higher fruit set by application before than after the opening
of ostiole in Jelly fig .The parthenocarpic fruit could jelly
after adding water and mixing. Thus, it is a valued way as a
substitute for caprification
