Cycocel ® at 1,000 ppm and under hot conditions with a tank mix spray of Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) or Bonzi ® spray (3–5 ppm). Florel ® can also be sprayed at 350–400 ppm early in the crop cycle, especially for larger pots and baskets, to improve branching and control growth.

E-M Tech Tips: Cascade is relatively vigorous and will require regular PGR applications, especially under warm growing conditions. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequately to PGRs. Early Florel® sprays are vital to making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH between 5.5–6.0 to avoid iron deficiency (tip chlorosis).
