KEY TIPS
(m) Level 4-2 (t) 68-73°F (20-23°C) (l) 1,000-2,500 f.c. (10,800-26,900 Lux) (f) Less than 100 ppm N (Less than 0.7 EC) (m) Level 4 (t) 65-72°F (18-22°C) (l) 1,000-2,500 f.c. (10,800-26,900 Lux) (f) Less than 100 ppm N (Less than 0.7 EC)
(m) Level 3-2 (t) 65-70°F (18-21°C) (l) 1,000-2,500 f.c. (10,800-26,900 Lux) (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC) (p) daminozide 2,500- 5,000 ppm Spray (m) Level 3-4 (t) 65-72°F (18-22°C) (l) 1,000-2,500 f.c. (10,800-26,900 Lux) (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC) (p) daminozide 2,500 ppm Spray
(m) Level 3-2 (t) 60-62°F (16-17°C) (l) 2,500-5,000 f.c. (26,900-53,800 Lux) (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC) (m) Level 2-3 (t) 65-72°F (18-22°C) (l) 2,500-5,000 f.c. (26,900-53,800 Lux) (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC) (p) daminozide 2,500- 5,000 ppm Spray
Preventative fungicide for Alternaria is recommended. Keep foliage as dry as possible to reduce risk of diseases.
Avoid temperatures below 62°F (16°C), as cooler temperatures cause foliage yellowing. Plug sizes 128 or larger should be sown at 2 seeds per cell. Apply daminozide spray for height control, with the first application at true leaf stage, followed by a second application 7 days later. An alternative to daminozide is an application of paclobutrazol sprench at 2.5 ppm or drench at 0.25-0.5 ppm at radicle emergence. This has been effective in controlling hypocotyl stretch. Glamour is vigorous, so this is a key tip. Follow either of these treatments with a single daminozide spray of 2,500 to 5,000 ppm in Stage 3. Avoid temperatures below 62°F (16°C), as cooler temperatures cause foliage yellowing. Plug sizes 128 or larger should be sown at 2 seeds per cell. Can apply daminozide spray for height control, with first application at true leaf stage, followed by a second application 7 days later. An alternative to daminozide would be an application of paclobutrazol sprench at 2.5 ppm or drench at 0.25 to 0.5 ppm at radicle emergence. This has been effective in controlling hypocotyl stretch. This should be followed by a single daminozide spray of 2,500 to 5,000 ppm in Stage 3. PGRs are generally not required for producing gazania plugs. Avoid excessive salt accumulation/ high EC in the plug media during plug production, as this will cause leaf tip or margin burn.

If needed, young plants respond well to daminozide.
Do not overwater. Avoid watering plants late in the day, as constant wet foliage may make plants susceptible to Botrytis. Does not require pinching.
(m) Level 3 (t) 63-66°F (17-19°C) (l) 4-8 mol·m¯²·d¯¹ (f) 100 to 175 ppm N (0.7 to 1.2 EC)
1. High humidity surrounding the pelleted seed will improve the germination rate at the early germination and seedling production stage. 2. The germination and usability rate are significantly improved by covering with Reemay, or growing under a tent, or growing on a mist bench, from OGC* to 2 true leaf stage (about 3 weeks). 3. Do not overwater the plug tray, as it could suffocate the tiny seed. Use the mist nozzle and keep the soil moisture level between 3 to 4. *OGC: out of germination chamber
