Tertiary fruit
The weight of tertiary fruit was significantly low in ms fru, ssfru and surprisingly also in ss flo. The fruit subjected to ms fru and ss fru were smaller than those of other treatments. It can be deduced that water stress reduces fruit size in agreement with Mpelasoka and Behboudian (2002) and Lopez et al. (2010). Total Soluble Solids were not affected significantly by water stress in the tertiary fruit as were the primary and secondary fruit. The terminal (primary) fruit on the peduncle are stronger sinks of substrates unloaded by phloem, followed by secondary fruit and tertiary fruit in order of position on the inflorescence. The fruit weight therefore declines with inferior blossom position (Janick and Eggert, 1968). In this study, the inflorescence developed at the same time
