Fumigations with hydrogen fluoride (HF) decreased in vivo pollen tube growth of Tilton apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) Both tube lengths and percent of styles with pollen tubes that reached the base of the style were adversely affected more by high HF concentration for a short time than by low concentration for a longer time. Pollen germination was unaffected on agar containing sodium fluoride. Fumigations with hydrogen chloride had no effect on pollen tube growth at concentrations from 0.05 to 0.75 mg Cl/m/sup 3/ and durations of exposure from 8.5 to 72 hours. 19 references, 1 figure.
