FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm or A-Rest ® at 2–4 ppm may be applied.
Start with a disinfected growing area and keep media pH below 5.8 to help avoid Thielaviopsis infections. Control thrips to prevent INSV or TSWV infections. Do not try to finish Vinca early in the North since the plants need high light and warm temperatures to grow adequately. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are usually not required except in pack production. Never apply Bonzi ® to vinca as leaf spotting may occur. Follow a regimented fungicide rotation to protect against aerial Phytophthora and other disease.

Start with a disinfected growing area and keep media pH below 5.8 to help avoid Thielaviopsis infections. Cora Cascade’s disease resistance is targeted to aerial Phytophthora which is a serious landscape disease in southern climates. It may have higher resistance to other diseases but is still susceptible to Thielaviopsis. Do not eliminate all fungicide applications; XDR indicates RESISTANCE, not immunity. Control Thrips to prevent INSV or TSWV infections. Do not try to finish Vinca early in the North since the plants need high light and warm temperatures to grow adequately. PGRs are usually not required except in pack production. Never apply Bonzi ® to Vinca since leaf spotting may occur.

TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm are effective at reducing stem length and leaf size.
If plugs are budded at transplant, provide 14-hour days for at least 4 weeks to promote bulking of the plants. Keeping soil moist will help prevent premature flowering.
