Abstract

•Bee repellents were not effective for reducing the seed number in ‘Afourer’ mandarin.•CuSO4 + GA3 treatment lowered the average number of seeds per fruit by 35%.•The most effective technique to reduce the seed number was covering with nets.•Fruit diameter was weakly correlated with seed number (R2 = 0.15).
