» The A-PEEL ® series prefers warmer production temperatures, avoid chilling.
» Do not use irrigation frequency to control plant size: Drying out plant to wilt will cause leaf burn and leaf drop. Can be run a little dry but not to wilt.
» Scout for spider mite and white fly especially when crops are held for long periods before sale.
» B-Nine ® may be used at 1,500-2,500 ppm 2 weeks after transplant. Bonzi ® is also effective. Check manufacturer’s labels for approved rates and usage recommendations.
