Developed from Futureco Bioscience’s biotechnological expertise, Sincronitza promotes the physiological synchronization of budbreak and flowering in high-value woody fruit crops. This precision approach helps synchronize budbreak and flowering to achieve more uniform and predictable cycles. With Sincronitza, Futureco Bioscience expands its portfolio of precision biostimulants for temperate fruit crops, offering distributors and growers an advanced technological alternative to conventional dormancy-management tools.
Futureco Bioscience has announced the launch of Sincronitza, a liquid biostimulant designed to harmonize phenological stages and synchronize budbreak and flowering in crops such as cherry, walnut and grapevine. By aligning these phases, the product supports a balanced progression between flowering and vegetative growth, promotes homogeneous phenological development, and enables growers to optimize orchard management, harvest planning and overall productivity.
Sincronitza has been developed as a response to a growing global challenge for fruit producers: mild winters and increasing climate variability that disrupt the natural timing of budbreak and flowering. 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. To mitigate these effects, Futureco Bioscience developed Sincronitza as a biotechnological tool capable of synchronizing budbreak and flowering, restoring physiological precision and predictability in fruit production, and helping growers recover uniform productive cycles in a shifting environmental context.
“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 science behind Sincronitza to synchronize budbreak and flowering
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.
A physiological approach to synchronize budbreak and flowering
Unlike traditional dormancy-breaking products, which rely on high nitrogen loads or aggressive chemical substances, Sincronitza acts through metabolic reactivation and hormonal balance, enhancing the plant’s natural physiology to promote coordinated, stress-free development. This mechanism positions it as a natural, sustainable biostimulant to synchronize budbreak and flowering, aligned with the demands of current agricultural production.
By harmonizing floral and vegetative development, Sincronitza ensures proper alignment between bud differentiation and leaf emergence—a key factor for uniform fruit set in cherry and other temperate fruit crops. The result is coordinated phenological development and improved fruit quality due to efficient resource mobilization and maintained vegetative vigor.
Field relevance and application to synchronize budbreak and flowering
Sincronitza is applied foliarly approximately 35 days before budbreak, during the physiological transition out of winter dormancy. This timing allows producers to activate internal metabolism and synchronize budbreak before visible growth begins. The product is especially effective in crops where flowering uniformity directly impacts pollination, labor efficiency and marketable yield.
Recommended for orchards older than four years, Sincronitza is applied once per season under favorable temperature and humidity conditions to ensure optimal absorption. Field observations in cherry and peach orchards show faster and more homogeneous bud opening compared with untreated trees, demonstrating its capacity to synchronize budbreak and flowering without causing phytotoxicity or affecting floral integrity.
“In many fruit-producing regions, insufficient winter chill has become increasingly common,”
notes María José Lis, Chief Commercial Officer at Futureco Bioscience.
“By concentrating flowering and harvest periods, Sincronitza contributes to reducing harvesting costs, optimizing labor use and simplifying orchard logistics, ensuring more predictable and profitable operations.”
