- Abstract
Like other temperate woody species, stone fruit trees (peach, nectarine, and apricot) must accumulate a specific amount of chilling during endodormancy and heat during eco dormancy for proper growth and development. Each cultivar has particular requirements, and special attention is needed to know them for an optimal decision support system. This paper aims to present the available information on the chilling- and heat requirements of peaches, nectarines, and apricots, focusing on the methods used for their determination. The results also reflected the necessity to standardize the methodology with the possibility of extending to new cultivars tested in different areas.
