N. P. X fertilizers were applied to Anab-e-Shahi vines, separately and in combina- tion about two weeks prior to fruitbud initiation. The buds were collected after the harvest of the crop and observed microscopically for fruitfulness. The nutrients. Kin the basal region and P in the distal region of the cane had increased the fruitfulness of buds significantly. Higher percentage of fruitfulness was observed in the nodes 8. 9 and 10. as against the usual positions 3-5 nodes in the locality. The length to width ratio of the cluster primordia was inversely proportional to the number of fruitful buds in a cane.
