Hydrogen cyanamide could stimulate the budbreak of 'Flordared' buds and the germination of 'Premier' seeds dormancy. However, It also occurred the inhibit of budbreak, removed or dead for buds while we used higher concentration of hydrogen cyanamide. The results may explain the hypothesis that sublethal dosages or damaged concentration is necessary for hydrogen cyanamide. In the TTC ( 2.3.5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride ) tested the viability of peach tissue recovered 120 hours after treatment suggests that the compensatory growth may be induced to break bud dormancy. We compared peach (prunus persica(L.) Batsch.) seed and seedling emergence after hydrogen cyanamide and various stratification treatments. Four hours chemicals soaking for seeds were inhibit germination and the seedling was often physiologically dwarfed after chemicals treatments. It meant the chemicals could not replace the GA or stimulate GA synthesis and higher dosages caused damaged. The combination of hydrogen cyanamide with ABA caused the budbreak delay and the lower concentration of hydrogen cyanamide would form a special "path". It could be very functional through using the "path". Forcing culture of 'Premier' and 'Flordared' peaches have been test in the lowland of central Taiwan by painting hydrogen cyanamide from winter to early spring. 0.6% or 1.2% of hydrogen cyanamide are suitable to break peach bud dormancy from January to February. The harvest time was 2 weeks earlier than control was. The fruits could be picked just before rainy season and sold to market in off- season of imported peach.
