Fruit and leaf drop at early stages can be prevented by the application of:
Ethylene
Auxins
Gibberellic acid
Cytokinins
, Auxins help to prevent fruit and leaf drop at early stages but promote the abscission of older mature leaves and fruits. Ethylene, on the other hand, promotes senescence and abscission of plant organs.
