Effective temperature for overcoming dormancy of ‘Fuyu’ persimmon tree buds

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effective temperature for overcoming dormancy ‘Fuyu’ persimmon tree buds. Stem samples were collected three times between 2013 and 2014. Stems maintained in a climate incubator chamber at 3, 6, 9, 12 °C. For each temperature, five numbers additional chilling hours (CH) (0, 240, 384, 528, 672 CH) studied. experimental design completely randomized 5 × 4 factorial (chilling temperatures) with four replications 10 cuttings. maintenance branches cold temperatures from 3 °C intensified endodormancy buds when plants beginning endodormancy. most overcome transition paradormancy 6 When already endodormancy, accumulation dormancy. increase number induced budburst able slowly induce bud
