Five cultivars of these Asian pear namely, Pien Pu, Yokoyama wase, Sung Mao, Pathanak and Xiang Sui were Sprayed with 0, 2.5 and 5 percent hydrogen cyanamide on December 9, 1991, January 4, 1992 and January 20, 1992 respectively. Later, effect of hydrogen cyanamide on hastening blooming and fruit qualities were recorded. It was found that hydrogen cyanamide has tened blooming 1-4 weeks prior to the control.
