I am hoping to treat pear blossoms of a plant I suspect as triploid with colchicine, or something like it, to get the blossoms to produce seeds when they set fruit. The fruit this pear produces does not have viable seeds. Is there research on applying this compound via root drench or blossom spraying? What are recommended concentrations? Application rates? My hope is to induce apomictic seedlings.
