Dormex® is a plant growth regulator used for breaking dormancy. It is applied to promote bud break in regions with mild winters that receive low chill hour accumulation. Dormex® allows producing walnuts in regions that otherwise might not be successful.

Dormex® is a management tool that gives professional walnut growers more control, by promoting a better and more uniform bud break and a compressed bloom.

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.
