CONTROL
Dormex® PROMOTES UNIFORM BUD BREAK IN KIWIFRUIT.
In regions with mild winters and low chill hour accumulation, Dormex® is applied in kiwifruit production to promote an increased and more uniform bud break.
Dormex® is a plant growth regulator and a management tool that gives kiwifruit growers more control in achieving uniformity and in reducing apical dominance. As a consequence of this more uniform and compressed bud break, also bloom and pollination is improved.
Furthermore, less double and trebles (unsaleable) fruits are commonly observed in Dormex® treated vines.
DORMEX® ENSURES OPTIMAL BUD BREAK
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.
