Treatments consisted of AVG sprayed one week after full bloom (WAFB) ) at different doses on ?Santa Maria? (0 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1, 80 mg L-1, and 120 mg L-1) and ?Abate Fetel? (0 mg L-1, 80 mg L-1, and 100 mg L-1) pear trees, arranged in a randomized block design. Yield components and fruit quality attributes were assessed. Fruit set, number of fruit per tree and yield are signifcantly improved and positively related to AVG dose for both cultivars, while fruit quality attributes and fruit size are not affected by treatments.  aethylene  afruit drop  afruit quality  aplant growth regulators  aPyrus communis1 aSILVA, C.
