Narrative Summary (Results/Discussion)
Please keep text to one page if possible. Include summary of trial results and a brief discussion including how any
changes from the protocol may have affected results. Results for multiple PRnumbers can be summarized together, but
please list all PRNumbers in the header and in the summary data table.
Pansy, Dracaena, Calibrachoa and Coreopsis were purchased as plugs from Kube Pak and potted up on
11/25/2014 in fafard #2 growing mix (70% peat, 20% perlite and 10% vermiculite) using classic 300S pots. Angelonia
were purchased as seeds from Stokes seed and seeded on 11/3/2014 in classic 300S pots and fafard #2 growing mix.
Dracaena and pansy were placed in greenhouse #1 while Calibrachoa and Coreopsis were placed in greenhouse #2. All
pots were placed on a black woven porous weed mat and both greenhouses had overhead irrigation on a timer and
overhead and floor heat. Osmocote Plus 15-9-12 granular fertilizer was applied at a rate of 6 grams per pot. Beginning
plant height and width measurements were done on 12/19/2014 for Dracaena and Coreopsis, 12/22/2014 for Calibrachoa
and Pansy and 1/5/2015 for Angelonia. The first application was done on 12/23/2014, the second application was done on
1/6/2015 and the final application was done on 1/20/2015. For the Angelonia, the first application was done on 1/6/2015.
The second application was done on 1/20/2015 and the final application was done on 2/3/2015. All foliage was dry prior
to all applications and a single nozzle boom was used to treat all 12 pots of the same treatment sprayed over the top on a
single pass. Plants of the same treatment were sprayed out of the same spray bottle mixture. This procedure was used for
all foliar applications. Phytotoxicity ratings were taken every week after the initial application for six weeks. Final plant
height and width measurements were taken on 2/3/2015 and 2/18/2015 for Angelonia. See “protocol 14-008 GH#1, 2”
spreadsheet for evaluation ratings.
Results Table
Please insert results table here. Include PRnumbers for each treatment if multiple PRnumbers are included in this
summary. Please include product, active ingredient, and statistics.
See “protocol 14-008 GH#1, 2” spreadsheet.
No stats were run on this data.
The Dracaena spikes and Coreopsis were not affected in any way at any of the rates by their applications.
Calibrachoa suffered no damage at any rate with Hachi-hachi SC and SP3009. Both of these chemicals looked like they
helped kill off the aphids and thrips that were damaging the other groups of Calibrachoa since these groups suffered little
to no insect damage.
Calibrachoa applied with Sultan and both control groups suffered major damage from thrips and aphids. Maintenance
sprays were done to try to kill them off, but we had trouble controlling them. Once we did get control of the aphids and
thrips, all plants began to improve and grow vigorously again. This was not until after the pictures were taken and the
final evaluation was done. New, updated pictures were taken (3/4/2015) to show the improvement.
The pansies had a few die off, but otherwise the rest grew well having SP3009 not affecting them.
Angelonia suffered no damage from Sultan with the few that died being from natural causes. Being planted from seed,
not enough grew so we had to exclude the surfactant only control group.
