“…Sweetheart fruits when using glycine betaine, with higher wax content, cuticle, and epidermal thickness [101]. The use of BLUPRINS, a bud breaking agent containing amino acids, as well as polysaccharides, nitrogen, and calcium showed that it can be used to advance and uniform sprouting and flowering in cherry [102].…”

Due to the increasing global population and the continued need to sustainably increase agricultural production, the agricultural sector requires innovative strategies to increase productivity and efficiency in the use of resources. Biostimulants have emerged as new, promising, and environmentally friendly products to promote the overall sustainability of production systems. Humic and fulvic acids, protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, chitosan and other biopolymers, inorganic compounds, beneficial fungi, and bacteria are widely accepted categories of biostimulants, with proven potential in improving plant growth, increasing crop production, and quality of the final product. Some of them also have the capacity to enhance nutrient uptake and improve stress tolerance of the crop. Sweet cherry is a highly appreciated fruit, with a significant economic value, linked to production yield and quality attributes influencing consumer acceptability. However, this fruit presents several undesirable characteristics, such as physiological disorders (e.g., fruit cracking) and a short shelf-life. Several approaches are used to enhance not only sweet cherry production, but also cherry quality, with the latest efforts being placed in biostimulants. The present review focuses on the most recent findings on the use of biostimulants in sweet cherry production.

“…Combinations of amino acids, polysaccharides, nitrogen, and calcium (e.g., Bluprins, Biolchim Spa, Bologna, Italy) can work as bud dormancy breaking agents [74] and can cause bud break induction and uniform flowering in grapes, cherries, and kiwifruit [75]. In a four-year comparative study, the combined solution of mineral oil (3.5%) + HC (0.35%) was more effective on bud break of apple cultivars "Maxi Gala" and "Fuji Suprema" compared to Bluprins, but all treatments showed significant results compared to the control plots [21].…”

Temperate Fruit Trees under Climate Change: Challenges for Dormancy and Chilling Requirements in Warm Winter Regions

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production of deciduous fruit trees. However, temperate fruit trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy and productivity. The objective of this review is to discuss the challenges for dormancy and chilling requirements of temperate fruit trees, especially in warm winter regions, under climate change conditions. After defining climate change and dormancy, the effects of climate change on various parameters of temperate fruit trees are described. Then, dormancy breaking chemicals and organic compounds, as well as some aspects of the mechanism of dormancy breaking, are demonstrated. After this, the relationships between dormancy and chilling requirements are delineated and challenging aspects of chilling requirements in climate change conditions and in warm winter environments are demonstrated. Experts have sought to develop models for estimating chilling requirements and dormancy breaking in order to improve the adaption of temperate fruit trees under tropical and subtropical environments. Some of these models and their uses are described in the final section of this review. In conclusion, global warming has led to chill deficit during winter, which may become a limiting factor in the near future for the growth of temperate fruit trees in the tropics and subtropics. With the increasing rate of climate change, improvements in some managing tools (e.g., discovering new, more effective dormancy breaking organic compounds; breeding new, climate-smart cultivars in order to solve problems associated with dormancy and chilling requirements; and improving dormancy and chilling forecasting models) have the potential to solve the challenges of dormancy and chilling requirements for temperate fruit tree production in warm winter fruit tree growing regions.
