B-NINE WSG

Plant Growth Regulator

FOR USE ON ORNAMENTALS GROWN IN COMMERCIAL OR RESEARCH GREENHOUSES, SHADEHOUSES, AND NURSERIES. P r o d u c t I n f o r m a t i o n B u l l e t i n 1 7 5

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.

APPLICATION AND RATES

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.

Common Name: Daminozide Class: Hydrazide GROUP 1 PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR

Packaging:  pound bag, 2 per case and 5 pound bag, 8 per case

RESTRICTED ENTRY INTERVAL (REI) AND SIGNAL WORD


REI = 24 hours Signal Word = CAUTION

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:

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)


Long-sleeved shirt and long pants Waterproof gloves Shoes plus socks

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.

SUGGESTED BASIC RATES FOR B-NINE WSG


These suggested rates are for basic plant growth regulation strategy. Please read the B-Nine label for specific use rates and crop timings. Azaleas: 2500 ppm, apply once or twice two weeks apart as needed to newly expanded growth (2-3 inches) after shaping. Bedding Plants/Flowering Plants: Use 2500 to 5000 ppm applied as needed on two week intervals. Apply one or two weeks after transplant or pinch to young expanding growth. Bedding Plant Plugs/Liners: 500 to 2500 ppm applied as needed. Application can begin at the first true leaf stage. Chrysanthemums: 2500 to 5000 ppm, apply after pinch to young -2 inch shoots. Apply as needed every two weeks up to one week before disbud stage. Foliage Plants: 2500 to 7500 ppm, apply two or more applications during times of stretch or new growth. Apply every two weeks as needed. Gardenia: 5000 ppm, apply when crop is 60% of final size. Hydrangeas: 5000 ppm for spring forced crop or up to 7500 ppm for summer crops. Bloom timing and or sizing may be disrupted if applications are made near bud set. Poinsettias: 2000 to 3000 ppm, apply on two week intervals, beginning after pinch when new shoots are -2 inches in length. Tank mix with Cycocel for increased activity is a common practice. Suggested rates are 250 to 2500 ppm B-Nine plus 250 ppm Cycocel. Do not apply B-Nine after start of short days. Perennials: 2500 to 5000 ppm, apply after transplant or to newly expanding growth. Apply every two weeks as needed. Tank mixing with Cycocel may increase activity. Use 2500 to 5000 ppm B-Nine plus 250 to 500 ppm Cycocel. Apply to expanding growth.

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**.
