“…Interest in bud dormancy breaking agents is closely related to commercial attempts to grow grapevines in mild winter locations, where chilling requirements are not necessarily met and, in absence of chemical budbreaking agents, the results are uneven budbreak and low budbreak rates, which lead to management problems later in the growth season, resulting in reducing yield (Erez, 1987), uneven maturity and delayed harvests are problems as well. In the Sonoran Desert in NW Mexico the problem is acute and although low-chilling cultivars are used, continuous chemical applications to release buds from dormancy are required, as elsewhere (Shulman et al, 1983).…”

“…Many investigations have been conducted to artificially interrupt dormancy in grapevines with synthetic chemicals (Shulman et al, 1983;Weaver et al, 1961;Lin and Wang, 1985;Nir et al, 1988;Zelleke and Kliewer, 1989;Dookoozlian and Wiliams, 1995). Among such products, Hydrogen Cyanamide (H 2 CN 2 ) (Dormex, BASF) has been the most effective bud breaking agent for field use (Zelleke and Kliewer, 1989) It is very effective and leads to early and vigorous vegetative growth.…”

Problem statement:In warm-winter regions, the need for intervention of chemical means to break bud rest becomes a dominant factor for maintaining economic production of table grapes. However, the problem is more acute when farmers want to grow organic table grapes in the absence of environmentally-friendly budbreak promoters. Approach: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mix of naturally occurring Garlic Compounds (GC) in comparison to the conventional use of hydrogen cyanamide to promote budbreak and its effects on cluster quality in four table grape cultivars fieldgrown in hot region (Sonora Desert). Results: Four cultivars responded to GC, the vines bursting bud about 3 weeks after application. Quality of fruit from 4 cultivars treated with GC was excellent. Clusters weigh and berry sizes were larger than other treatments. Conclusion: Ability of GC to break dormancy in table grape grown in Sonora Desert has significant implications for organic table grape production in hot regions.

“…Erratic and/or delayed bud break, decreased shoot and cluster numbers per vine, and poor uniformity of fruit development are commonly reported in regions where grapevines suffer from inadequate winter chilling (Mccoll, 1986;Shulman et al, 1983). Chilling is required to break endodormancy and the chilling requirement varies among fruit trees including grapevines (Westwood, 1993).…”

Effect of Dormex, Fructose and Methionine Spraying on Bud Dor-mancy Release of "Superior" Grapevines

This study was carried out during the two successive seasons 2015 and 2016 on 13 years old "Superior" grapevines to study the effect of spraying fructose (3, 5%), methionine (3, 5%) and hydrogen cyanamide 5% (Dormex) on bud dormancy release of "Superior" grapevines. Cyanamide is frequently used for grape bud dormancy release. However, those chemicals are potentially harmful to humans. In this study, we used substances that are less toxic to the environment and grape growers, such as fructose and methionine to determine their effects on "Superior" grape bud break. All treatments significantly improved the percentage of bud break, fruiting buds and yield, as well as the advancement of the harvest date and improving the berry quality compared to untreat ones (control). Also, all treatments induce gradually increased bud contents of IAA and GA 3 and a gradual decrease of ABA from treated date towards buds burst compared to untreated ones. Dormex spraying gave the highest values of studied traits compared to other treatments. No significant differences were found among 5% dormex and 3% fructose spraying. Hence, 3% fructose shows potential for use as a commercial bud break and improves superior grapes fruiting.
