Why use BudPro?
During winter, deciduous fruit trees must experience a period of cool temperatures to resume growth in the spring. Normal winter weather in most temperate regions typically provides adequate chilling, but deciduous crops grown in warm climates may receive inadequate chilling hours, resulting in delayed and erratic budbreak. Insufficient chilling can be overcome by application of BudPro.
When to use BudPro?
The timing of BudPro application is extremely important in order to achieve the desired response and to avoid flower bud injury. Apply during the dormant season after significant winter chilling has been received, but before significant flower bud swelling occurs. Apply before a significant number of flower buds reach stage 3. Timing must be based on flower development. If excess floral bud swell and floral budbreak has occurred, chemical injury to buds is highly possible.
Advantages of using BudPro
-
Highly soluble in water at any rate and suitable for spraying
-
Induces early budbreak (25-30 days after application)
-
High Percentage of uniform bud opening. Untreated plants may take 30 days or more to reach maximum budbreak, whereas treated plants reach complete budbreak within 10-15 days
-
Reduction of apical dominance; More uniform overall shoot-growth
-
Sprouting enhancement of latent buds. Promotes new development in latent buds. Promotes new developments in blank areas
-
Uniform bloom and ripening eases harvest
-
Earlier ripening by 7-10 days
-
Leaves no unwanted residues in crops or in the soil
-
Increased berry size
-
Compared to the brand name product: BudPro has been established to be in all aspects equally effective. BudPro is the smart choice.

Hydrogen cyanamide stimulates cell division and growth in dormant plants, causing budbreak when the plant is on the edge of breaking dormancy. Slight injury of cells may play a role in the mechanism of action. The injury is thought to result in increased permeability of cellular membranes. The injury is associated with the inhibition of catalase, which in turn stimulates the pentose phosphate cycle. Hydrogen Cyanamide interacts with the cytokinin metabolic cycle, which results in triggering a new growth cycle.
