FINISH PGRs

TECH TIPS

Responsive to B-Nine ® WSG, Bonzi ® , and Sumagic ® .

Use a calcium-based fertilizer and feed once a week at most to avoid soft growth and stretching of plants. Do not let plants go into the night with wet foliage or tip abortion may occur, especially during early stages of growth. Downward cupping or twisting of immature leaves may be caused by overuse of plant growth regulators (PGRs). It is better to use less water and fertilizer than PGRs to control growth. Preventive fungicide applications for foliar and root disease are recommended, especially in high humidity environments. Subdue Maxx ® , Mural ® , Micora ® , and Segovis ® fungicides can be used in a rotation program to control the common disease problems of Impatiens.

Downward cupping or twisting of immature leaves may be caused by overuse of plant growth regulators (PGRs). It is better to use less water and fertilizer than PGRs to control growth. Even with resistant varieties like Imara ® XDR, preventative fungicide applications for foliar and root disease are recommended, especially in high humidity environments.

TECH TIPS

Responsive to B-Nine ® WSG, Bonzi ® and Sumagic ® . Xtreme Impatiens are bred to be more compact than standard Impatiens so may require less plant growth regulators (PGRs).

TECH TIPS

Under proper growing conditions, plant growth regulators (PGRs) are usually not needed. If warm and/or dark conditions exist, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm are effective.

If plugs were provided 14 hour days, then day extension lighting isn’t required after transplant. Growing Magic Mimulus in cool conditions will give the best quality plants. Control thrips to reduce the chance of INSV infections.
