time of anther debiscence and flower opening, time interval between various
stages of flower development and best time of hand pollination for maximum
seed production, i !u- time of flower opening and anther dehiscence in 'Kew*
pineapple was found to be between 4 . 1 5 am and S a m The time interval between
various stages of flower development was studied and found to be much
shorter than those observed under Hawaii conditions. The results from the pollination
