For ideal dormancy management in apple and cherry crops, Waiken® puts you back in control.
Waiken’s application timing allows you to set back or bring forward flowering to suit market or growing conditions.
Compacts flowering
Waiken is a reliable dormancy management tool, compacting the flowering period to significantly improve the effect of chemical thinning treatments, therefore through more uniformly mature fruit.
Thanks to its proprietary chemistry, Waiken allows growers to capitalise on more profitable early markets.
Allows cross pollination
Not only does Waiken deliver benefits to growers in the short term, it is also a very important tool for growers in the long term sustainability of their operations.
Waiken helps promote limb growth in young fruit trees and also has the ability to bring forward bud-break to help align flowering across varieties to achieve cross-pollination, adding to its outstanding management characteristics.
Protection from frosts
Interest in Waiken initially arose following grower requests for a viable product that assists with bud-break and accurate flowering in low chill environments.
