GENERAL INFORMATION
B-Nine reduces stature in ornamental plants by reducing internode length. Additional B-Nine benefits include a more aesthetically pleasing, compact plant with deeper green color that is more resistant to breaking during shipping. When applied to plant foliage, B-Nine is absorbed into the leaf and moves within the plant to growing points to reduce internode elongation through inhibiting gibberellin synthesis. B-Nine contains 85% Daminozide. B-Nine is a water soluble granule (WSG) formulation.
USE SITES
B-Nine may be used on ornamental plants grown in commercial or research greenhouses, shadehouses, and nurseries. Containerized plants labeled for use by B-Nine are but not limited to: Azaleas, Bedding Plants/ Flowering Plants, Plugs and Liners, Chrysanthemums, Foliage Plants, Gardenias, Hydrangeas and Poinsettias.
B-Nine label rates are dependent on the crop treated and the level of plant regulation desired. Rates range from 000 7500 PPM (refer to the product label for specific rates). Spray should be directed at the leaves and stems just to the point of run-off. Application volume should be one gallon per 200 sq. ft. of coverage. For optimum results, water plant to be treated one day before application. Plant foliage should be dry at the time of application. Do not add wetting agents or mix with other pesticides especially copper based fungicides. Do not allow tank mix to stand over 24 hours after mixing.
Packaging: pound bag, 2 per case and 5 pound bag, 8 per case
TANK MIXING
Do not tank mix with insecticides, wetting agents, or foliar fertilizer as burning of the foliage may result. Do not mix B-Nine with copper-containing products or within 7 days either before or after an application of a copper based compound. B-Nine & Cycocel Tank Mix: Use on certain crops where B-Nine alone provides limited height control. The B-Nine/ Cycocel tank mix provides a synergistic effect that may result in enhanced activity. Optimum rates for the tank mix can be adjusted to obtain a desired level of activity, but the general guidelines are to use the Cycocel rates which do not cause phytotoxicity and then vary the rate of B-Nine to adjust activity. Some guidelines are:
MODE OF ACTION
B-Nine works by reducing plant internodal length resulting in a shorter and more compact plant. B-Nine is a Ga3 inhibitor.
GENERAL RATE RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST USE GUIDE FOR B-NINE WSG
Plug/Liner Bedding Plants 1500-2500 ppm Plug/Liner Comment Apply at first true leaf stage and as needed for compact growth. Apply to early leaf stage and as needed for growth control. Apply to early leaf stage and as needed for growth control. Use a pre-plant dip to rooted cuttings. Allow to dry before potting up. Apply to rooting cuttings to reduce stretch and maintain color. Overhead mist will reduce response. Finish 1500-2500 ppm Finish Comment Apply 3-7 days after transplant, then as needed every 2 weeks to control growth*. Apply 7 days after transplant, then as needed to control growth*. Apply 7 days after transplant, then as needed to control growth*. Apply after pinch when shoots are 1 long, then as needed up to 1 week before disbud. Apply after pinch when shoots are 1-2 long, then 2 week intervals**.
