The chilling accumulated in areas of mild winter climate is not enough to overcome the endodormancy of some cultivars, like 'Chiripá', being necessary the use of chemical products for a better budding, blooming and cropping. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different doses of hydrogen Cyanamid (CH2N2) and mineral oil (MO) in the blooming, budding and production of peach tree, cv. Chiripá cultivated in Pato Branco, Paraná. The use of 1% CH2N2 combined with 1% of MO, increase, anticipate and homogenize blooming, budding and cropping of peach tree cv. Chiripá, promoting larger fruit set and production per plant, making possible the commercial orchards of this cultivar.
