SEED FINISHING
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 10–30 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 5–10 ppm.
If needed, to control height when plants are starting to flower, a drench with Bonzi ® at 2–3 ppm or Sumagic ® at 0.5–-1 ppm can be used without delaying flowering. Practice a good wet/dry moisture cycle but avoid extremes of wet and dry. Salvias are sensitive to high salts, so maintain EC levels below 2.0 mS/cm.

Keep under short days for 2 weeks after transplant to allow plants to bulk, then extend the day length to 14 hours to induce flowering. Keep plants on the dry side to avoid soft growth that is prone to Botrytis and soft rots. Highly sensitive to Tospoviruses (INSV and TSWV), so it is imperative to control thrips.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm, Bonzi ® at 15–20 ppm or Sumagic ® at 10–15 ppm are effective to control growth; 1–2 applications are usually sufficient.
Handle plugs gently when transplanting since Snapdragons have relatively weak root systems. Do not bury the stem to avoid stem rot diseases. Control Thrips to avoid TSWV or INSV infections. For early crops grown under short days, provide day extension lighting. Grow cool and under high light for the strongest stems.
