FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Respond well to B-Nine ® WSG sprays at 2,500–3,500 ppm. Bonzi ® drenches at 1–2 ppm during later stages in the crop will reduce stretch and will not affect flowering as much as B-Nine ® WSG.
Providing cool temperatures, high light and ‘growing on the dry side’ will help keep Petunias more compact. Early morning DIF treatments also help. Providing long day lighting during short days will shorten time to flower.

FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are usually not necessary under proper (cool with high light) growing conditions. If needed due to low light and/or high temperatures, sprays of Bonzi ® at 15–20 ppm or B-Nine ® WSG at 5,000 ppm are effective. The best time to apply PGRs is about 2 weeks after transplant; later treatments will give more height control but will delay flowering. Popstars Phlox also respond well to a negative DIF.
Do not let plants wilt severely. Too much water stress will damage the plants and they will not recover.
