Duvet is a genetically compact Petunia so requires significantly less PGRs than standard Petunias. It is best to control growth by providing optimal growing conditions. Suboptimal growing conditons (too warm, too humid, overwatering, low light) can promote soft, stretchy growth. If growth control is necessary, Duvet responds well to sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500- 3,500 ppm or Bonzi ® at 5-15 ppm.Bonzi ® drenches are not recommended.
Covering seed is not necessary but a light vermiculite coating will help maintain moisture levels in drier climates. Keep pelleted seed at moisture level 5 the first several days to ensure the pellet is completely dissolved. Providing long days in the plug stage will reduce overall time to flower. Low boron levels can induce tip abortion. Spraying an uneven plug tray with B-Nine ® WSG at 1,500 ppm may help even the growth in the tray.

It is best to be proactive in applying PGRs on Petunias. Anticipate changes in weather or other conditions that can cause plant stretch and apply PGRs before plant stretch begins. Petunias respond well to B-Nine ® WSG sprays at 2,500-3,500 ppm. Do not apply B-Nine ® WSG after bud formation or flowers may reduce in size and/or become distorted. 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.

Picobella is a genetically compact Petunia so usually does not need any PGR applications. If grown too warm or under low light conditions a spray of B-Nine ® WSG at 1,500-2,500 ppm will help keep the growth more compact. Do not spray with B-Nine ® WSG after bud formation; Picobellas is a milliflora Petunia so has many small flowers and late PGR applications may reduce flower size unacceptably.
Covering seed is not necessary but a light vermiculite coating will help maintain moisture levels in drier climates. Keep pelleted seed at moisture level 5 the first several days to ensure the pellet is completely dissolved. Providing long days in the plug stage will reduce overall time to flower. Low boron levels can induce tip abortion.
