Abstract
Dormancy Breaking of the Fig Tree with Hydrogen Cyanamide and Garlic Extrate
Highlights
The fig tree is native to Asia Minor and Syria, in the Mediterranean region, and was first cultivated and selected by the Arabs and Jews in Southwest Asia
We emphasize the possibility of using the garlic extract, seeking other production systems that do not accept the use of hydrogen cyanamide, since it is a toxic product [26,27]
We have found that the plants that were subjected to 2% hydrogen cyanamide had their fruit harvest anticipated, when compared to the control treatment, with a cycle of 98 days
Summary
The fig tree is native to Asia Minor and Syria, in the Mediterranean region, and was first cultivated and selected by the Arabs and Jews in Southwest Asia. The fig trees seems to have not deep dormancy in comparison with other species like cherry and apple in the same country [1] and adapts to regions that have from 0 to 150 hours of ≤ 7,2°C temperatures [3], or with continuous exposition time equivalent to four days/cycle of temperatures below this limit [4]. This temperature values should not be considered a limiting factor for the stagnation of the plant’s metabolic activities [3].
