Futureco Bioscience has launched Sincronitza, a precision biostimulant that promotes the physiological synchronization of budbreak and flowering in high-value woody fruit crops such as cherry, walnut and grapevine.

The company says the product is particularly relevant in Mediterranean and South American regions, where the reduction in winter chill accumulation increasingly affects crop uniformity and fruit quality. Under these conditions, trees tend to exhibit desynchronized budbreak and irregular flowering, creating inefficiencies in field management and harvest operations.

“Sincronitza acts at one of the most decisive phases in deciduous fruit production: the transition from winter dormancy to active growth, where budbreak uniformity largely defines the productive potential of the season,” explains Francisca Villegas, product manager at Futureco Bioscience. “By promoting hormonal balance and reactivating key metabolic pathways, it supports more uniform budbreak and synchronized flowering, improving crop management and harvest predictability.”

The formulation of Sincronitza is based on specific amino acids obtained through bacterial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis – particularly methionine and glutamic acid – combined with nitrogen and calcium. These components act synergistically to reactivate major metabolic pathways involved in dormancy release, reduce inhibitory compounds accumulated during winter rest, and restore enzymatic and protein synthesis processes required for metabolic reactivation.

Recommended for orchards older than four years, Sincronitza is applied once per season under favourable temperature and humidity conditions to ensure optimal absorption.
