Dormex® is a bud break stimulant promoting more uniform, normal and/or earlier bud break. An application of this plant growth regulator substitutes the lack of chilling hours in regions with mild winters. Dormex can help to condense harvest and harvest earlier.
For young non-bearing trees, use the Dormex growth regulator for apical dominance suppression to achieve the desired framework for the trees.
In bearing trees, Dormex compresses the bloom period to a few days depending upon the weather. Improved bud break uniformity will also facilitate thinning and promote greater uniformity of fruit maturity at harvest.
A uniform maturity at harvest depends on getting a uniform bud break. All deciduous fruit crops need a sufficient amount of winter chilling hours to resume normal growth in spring. In regions with mild or without winters, bud break is not optimal and consequently yield is reduced.
Dormex partially substitutes the lack of chilling hours and ensures an optimal bud break by releasing the plant from dormancy.
Depending on the application time, Dormex can advance bud break and consequently harvest time. This effect can be used by growers effectively to stagger the harvest time in order to fetch the highest crop market prices or utilize labor for fruit picking efficiently.
Whether you’re managing mature producing orchards or developing
younger trees, our technical team is here to help you time your application
perfectly.
