21,872 USE OF NIGHT-BREAK LIGHTING TO INCREASE FRUIT SET IN ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT FRUIT CROPS Abstract of the Disclosure Fruit set in crops can be increased with repeated exposures of the crops with light during the night times. More particularly, light at 660 nm can be administered for periods of 1 to 240 minutes daily, during the night times, from bloom time for the crop (or prior thereto) to early fruit development for the crop, for time spans from 30 to 50 days. Crops include apples (e.g., "Red Delicious"), almonds (e.g., "Nonpareil" and "Merced"), pistachios, soybean, calamondin, grapes, oranges, and cotton. Light can be obtained from a light source selected from the group consisting of fluorescent light source and high intensity discharge-lithium filled metal halide light source having an intensity range 1 µW/cm to 400 µW/cm2.
