Cell Pack , 1 (ppp), 3-4 (weeks), Spring, PGR daminozide 2,500 ppm Spray 4"/4.5"/Quart/10 cm , 1 (ppp), 4-5 (weeks), Spring, PGR daminozide 2,500 ppm Spray 5"/6"/1 Gallon/15 cm , 3 (ppp), 4-6 (weeks), Spring, PGR daminozide 2,500 ppm Spray
Drench with a fungicide at transplant. Keep light as high as possible (DLI = 12 moles·m²·d¹) while maintaining optimal production temperatures. Maintain even moisture and avoid excessive media and foliage wetness, as these conditions are favourable for disease incidence. Plant growth regulators may not be necessary for this series. Negative DIF can be used to control height. Daminozide and ancymidol can be used for height control if needed.

Adjust PGR rates and frequency of application depending on local conditions.
Adjust PGR rates and frequency of application depending on local conditions.
Flowers will be more double, with more intense colour, when grown under high light levels. Avoid excessive moisture on plants and flowers. Monitor for Botrytis.
Growth regulators are recommended for pack and container production. Foliar sprays of daminozide at 1,500-3,500 ppm (rate dependent on temperature) applied 2 to 3 times are beneficial for Elegant zinnia. First application can be done 1 week after transplant, followed by a second application 1 week later. If necessary, a third application can be done 3 to 4 weeks after transplant. Adjust PGR rates and frequency of application depending on local conditions. Keep light as high as possible. A DLI below 8 mol·m¯²·d¯¹ reduces flower doubleness on this crop. Avoid excessive moisture on plants and flowers. Monitor for Botrytis.
