BLUEBERRIES - To promote more uniform budbreak, particularly in area of marginal chilling, to reduce the period of fruit disease susceptibility and to promote more uniform harvest, use 1 - 1.5% (v/v) Dormex in 50 to 100 gallons of spray per acre using up to 0.5% (v/v) of a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient with applications made 30 or more days prior to natural budbreak.

PEACHES/NECTARINES - For more uniform natural budbreak, or for earlier budbreak, leading to sharper bloom, more uniform maturity or earlier maturity, apply after all pruning activities are completed, use 1 - 1.5% (v/v) Dormex spray in not more than 200 gallons spray per acre using up to 0.5% (v/v) of a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient. Applicaton should be made 30 or more days prior to normal budbreak. Application less than 30 days prior to normal budbreak may result in reduced yield. In some area, it may be possible to use lower rates if it is possible to monitor closely the accumulation of chill hours. If rates are too low and made too close to normal budbreak no results may occur.

Spray according to the anticipated budbreak timing of the earliest variety within an interplanted orchard, unless each variety can be sprayed separately without significant drift or overspray contacting previously sprayed varieties or nontarget varieties. If handgun spray applications are used, care must be taken not to over wet the lower portions of the tree because reduced fruitfulness will occur in the lower part of the tree as a result of phytotoxicity from increase spray dripping from the top of the tree. More uniform spray applications occur from speed sprayer treatment, resulting in more uniform distribution of material through the tree.

Dormex is a budbreak stimulant and will promote more uniform and/or earlier budbreak even when maximum chill hour requirements are met. However, Dormex is not a substitute for chill hours. A 1.5% (v/v) spray will stimulate growth following a minimum amount of chilling (approximately 300-500 chill hours based on threshold temperature of 43F to 45F).

Dormex use on any orchard historically damaged by frost, such as in Southeaastern states must be done with the knowledge that Dormex treated trees are equally as frost sensitive as non-treated trees. If Dormex is used to start growth even a few days early, resulting flowers and/or fruit can be subject to frost damage.
