B-Nine ® (2500–5000 ppm) or Sumagic ® (20–30 ppm) can be used to control growth. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) + B-Nine ® (2500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and improve branching early in production. A Bonzi ® drench (2–4 ppm) can be given 3–4 weeks before finishing.

11.5 hrs. Tech Tips: Keep media pH down in the mid 5’s to avoid iron deficiency and tip chlorosis. Temperatures can be lowered three weeks after planting and especially towards the end of production to tone or hold the plant. High DLIs and cool finishing temperatures produce high-quality petunias. Use proper sanitation when pinching or shearing petunia. Petunia and other solanaceous crops are highly susceptible to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), which can be easily transmitted by mechanical means.

Temperatures can be lowered three weeks after planting and especially towards the end of production to tone or hold the plant. High DLIs and cool finishing temperatures produce high-quality petunias. Sanguna Patio petunia was bred and selected to flower under day lengths of 10.5 hours; however, flower number increases under longer day lengths. Use proper sanitation when pinching or shearing petunia. Petunia and other solanaceous crops are highly susceptible to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), which can be easily transmitted by mechanical means.
