Dear TCers,

Has anyone had any experience useing hydrogen cyanamide to induce bud break
in trees?  I want to use this to induce shoot formation in rootstocks of
pistachio in mature trees without cutting off the scion wood.  I heard that
it inhibits the enzyme catalase, but does anyone know if it is used or acts
like an auxin inhibitor?

Thanks in advance,
