» Once established, SILVER BULLET ® is a very fast growing plant; growth can be controlled by reducing fertilizer or withholding water.
» Growing plants with too much irrigation can cause chlorosis; keep plants on the dry side.
» Treat with a preventative broad spectrum fungicidal drench at 1-2 weeks after transplant.
» If crop becomes overgrown, plants can be sheared to shape. They can also be shaped after flowering in landscape use.
» Scout crops regularly (at least once a week) for disease development. Good air circulation, control of humidity, and good sanitation practices are critical.
» Good water management practices are critical to healthy plant growth; water well and then allow the plant to draw the water from the soil.
